[QUOTE="Local Host, post: 808389"] Comparing Free AVs with Default Settings, WD is pretty much among the worst. When we add the performance hit, false positives, broken exclusions, hidden settings in the Group Policy Editor and Regedit. It only makes it even worse. Most of the APIs Windows Defender uses for your protection, are available to third-parties as well, Kaspersky being among the few companies that uses them. Every time I tried to leave a computer with Windows Defender, they always come back with either Malware or Performance complaints. Ever since I started installing Kaspersky Free on their computers, the only reason those computers come back to me is to upgrade Windows 10 to the latest build. The only place where I can recommend Windows Defender is in the Enterprise with the advanced Control Panel and Features in the ATP. If you get infected with third-party AVs, you sure as hell are getting infected with WD. [/QUOTE]
