Not been using Windows Defender in a while (been using Avast) but Ive recenently reactivated on another Win10 computer and its waaaaaaay better than I remember it being 🙂
@@Haddley333 Most people will say use one or the other. I currently use Defender and Kaspersky together with no issues. Haven't used Avast for a long time as it used up a lot of system resources.
Just downloaded it to give it a go. It will be combined with my VPN router and Mlwarebytes Premium. Thanks for sharing Mike and Lady Kath . Take care all Cheers
Great stuff - I am such a Novice at Antivirus - Gonna use this one with your settings. Thanks you Mike - I'm very satisfied and got rid of my F-Secure antivirus , to many CPU temp Spikes.
Far cry from the days when you added antivirus because Defender was useless. Now I only use Defender 2bh. Will give this a try as download or stream daily so any extra safety very welcome. Thanks Mike and Kath 👍
Microsoft should just give up the option back to how it was on Windows 7. Something that metro UI, or whatever it is, is good enough. Sometimes it's not. In this case, it is not.
Windows defender is fine as it is. No third party voodoo needed. That said, I finished my build today. But I made a bit of a novelist mistake. I used my MSI X570 Unify that had been the closet for over a year without testing it first. And fate reared up and bit me in the arse. No matter what I tried, the sucker refused to crank up. I made it into the bios a couple times, but none of the setting changes did anything to change the outcome. It goes to the Logo, and stays there. So, tomorrow I'll drain the loop, and replace the Unify with my X570S Edge. Such is the life of a PC building. If I can get my hands on something to take photos with, I'll post the rebuild, build on Discord.
HHHhhhhmmmmmmmm.... that looks interesting. I may have to give that a go. I built my new machine last July but instead of putting one of my available NORTON activations on it I decided to just use Microsoft Defender because A: it was getting high marks and B: it was FREE!!! Normally I'm of the mind that "you get what you pay for". But I'm not getting any Norton interruptions on my machine and I'm also apparently not having any problems. So, thanks. I may actually try this.
@@mikesunboxing It's still a good security solution, but if DefenderUI does the job, I may even drop Bitdefender! Thanks for unearthing this little gem. :-)
What do I go for, been using Sophos Home for a good while, but Defender scores decently in tests these days. For a freebie, Sophos Home only gives a little gentle upgrade hinting. Does Defender do website blacklisting
Funny when you say some people are paranoid about what's on the internet so can decide to choose aggressive mode 😂. They've just downloaded so called 'free' software without questioning why it's free 😂.
Went dumpster diving this week and what did I find this week? A motherboard going pretty cheap for $80 pounds a Gigabyte gaming x ax b760. How’s that for a dumpster find ? It’s regularly priced for about 160 pounds.
haha, i hear that but linux still isn't really ready for the mainstream, if it was then it would be in the same position and get targeted for malware and phishing more.

Love it when Mike finds cool things other do not 😀
yeah i am a sucker for a good Windows enhancement

it is still a good layer of protection, this addon gives it a bit more grunt
Should I only have either defender or avast active?

@@Haddley333You can have both if you like, it wont do your system any harm. I have both running on my laptop and Ive had no issues 🙂
Avast 🤮

yeah it seems like a decent addon to the default settings and uses language that is a bit easier for everyone to understand what the heck is going on

Great to hear!

yeah i was always using the combo of avg antivirus and zonealarm firewall. that was a really popular combo back in the day

Same-Windows defender and basic common sense is all we need.
Nice, added it thanks
No problem 👍

let us know if you use it and your thoughts on it
Looks interesting. I'll compare it to Glasswire?
i think glasswire is more a firewall and for looking in detail at packets, this is just making the defender a bit more robust overall

no defender doesn't or at least it isn't something that can be toggled it seems
Is the "cloud delivered protection" only applicable to say "one drive" users?? I don't use the cloud and always uninstall OD..??
Cloud based protection scans files in the cloud to use the very latest definition and data

yep good point

Often the best antivirus and malware protection is basic common sense.
that does make a huge difference
Went dumpster diving again this week and scored a fractal design define r5 case for 50 pounds! Normal price is 98 pounds!
nice work! good price for a quality case
Interesting. Or go with Linux, to defend yourself against Windows.
