[QUOTE="bazang, post: 1109135, member: 114717"] This is true of those with the knowledge and inclination to go to security forums. The vast majority of average consumer users, do not have that knowledge or inclination. What Microsoft does not tell you is that against new malware it is no better than 40% go 60% effective for consumers, enterprise, and government. The 40% to 60% range is applicable to all antivirus products against new malware campaigns. Most home users do not even realize they are infected. If the vast majority of them do not know they are infected, then how are they going to go to an online security forum to report an infection. A home with children definitely needs something better than default Microsoft Defender. It would be best if there was a knowledgeable parent in the household but that is very unlikely. So the next best option is to have Microsoft manage the device security on behalf of the family with locked down security. [/QUOTE]
