[QUOTE="ChemicalB, post: 779078, member: 74974"] I don't have much experience with WD because I use a third-party AV and many useful comments are already posted, but I think: Pros - Simple UI. - Good detection (I don't know about complex malware and zero day). - Windows built-in Cons Slow update: Windows Defender get its definitions via Windows Update, which means that it may take time before you receive a critical update. - Big impact on performance on some systems. - Universally popular so a common target of criminal bypass.
