[QUOTE="plat, post: 938585, member: 74969"] Well, this is a LONG-time thing with me but very basically: Microsoft has a vested interest in keeping Defender competitive. Its marketing would fall flatter than flat in the face of billions of Windows installations and it could theoretically get sued in certain scenarios. It's been sued before due to crap updates literally destroying machines. Its tamper protection is a step forward but I know it's not bullet-proof--speaking for Home users now. So why not say it's a capable antivirus and leave it at that? No harm in bolstering it with light 3rd parties, like Hard_Configurator. It's like taking vitamin supplements. 🎃 [/QUOTE]
