[QUOTE="RoboMan, post: 856394, member: 53544"] I'd say it's decent. Unluckily, it's still very buggy. Quarantine and disinfection is the most painful process in the world. Plus no web protection. Can it be used? Yes. If somebody needs a free AV, I always leave WD enabled, install Configure_Defender and SysHardener. With a a browser with uBlock and TrafficLight that PC is good to go. I try to avoid ALL free AV, this include not only Avast, but 360, KFA, BitDefender Free. After all they're just signatures, and every single good aspect of their protection is paid. I believe that within a couple of years, with the amount of telemetry Microsoft gathers, Windows Defender will be one of the most powerful antivirus, if not the best. So far, I'd say fix those annoying bugs, add web protection, some kind of default deny with SmartScreen hardening options that will allow you to play with SRP (but I'm afraid this will probably never happen since average users will just ##### their computers up).
