[QUOTE="ultim, post: 960850, member: 843"] Even if you leave the Windows Defender unchecked in TinyWall's settings, you will not be left without WD's protection. WD engine and virus signature updates are delivered over Windows Update, so as long as you leave Windows Update turned on (and it is ON by default in TinyWall), you'll always have the latest WD protection, even with "Windows Defender" disabled. The "Windows Defender" setting in TinyWall only controls cloud-based scanning and automatic sample submission (automatic file uploads to Microsoft) in WD. I agree it might be a good idea to explain this in the FAQ, but I am not convinced that the current defaults are bad or that they'd need a warning. E.g. most privacy-conscious users do not prefer their files to be secretly uploaded to Microsoft. [/QUOTE]
