[QUOTE="plat1098, post: 710281"] Well, I don't actually "like" Windows Defender but for me, the risk of problems with the OS is lower when it's enabled. Defender is always augmented with a rotation of good stuff: Sandboxie, OSArmor and the Emsisoft Kit for example, so I feel the machines are protected adequately--with minimal annoyances. As others report, Emsi Antimalware had some issues for me also, such as interface freezing. However, the expertise and courteous professionalism of the support personnel keep me loyal. Emsisoft developers have created a number of [URL='https://support.emsisoft.com/topic/26776-list-of-emsisoft-ransomware-decrypters/']free decryption tools [/URL]for file recoveries from certain ransomware, so their contributions to the greater community are significant. I'll use some variation of Emsisoft for the longterm. :cool: [/QUOTE]
