[QUOTE="509322, post: 778366"] A typical home user does not visit security soft forums or research how to tweak Windows Defender. So they are better off using a 3rd party security solution. Protection-wise, Windows security has, by design, holes in it. Plus, consumers will get better support from a 3rd party solution. There is no support for Windows Defender... not unless the user is wiling to pay the $100 support fee. From my field observations, it is Microsoft that causes the most number of problems - and not 3rd party software. If Microsoft wouldn't constantly change things, then users wouldn't find themselves in the predicament of Windows breaking stuff all the time. 3rd parties do a good job, but it is Microsoft that ruins it for everyone. All one need do is keep track of the number of people using W10 security in malware removal assistant threads across the web, and the picture is clear. Windows Defender just isn't what it is hyped up to be. The two leading AVs found in malware removal assistance threads are default Windows Defender and Malwarebytes. One cannot argue with this kind of data. [/QUOTE]
