[QUOTE="Local Host, post: 821302"] Why? [LIST] [*]High resource usage (slows computer to a crawl), [*]Lack of customization without third-party tools (poor default settings that will fail to protect you against most malware, check malwarehub), [*]Slow updates and fixes (due to relying on Windows 10 Feature Updates, same issue Microsoft Edge had), [*]Exclusions don't work properly (ignores whitelisted files you just recovered from quarantine and quarantines them over and over again), [*]High rate of false positives (with the issue above, and the fact it quarantines all files without asking makes it extremely frustrating to use). [/LIST] I have no sane reason to use Windows Defender with all the issues above. [/QUOTE]
