A Review of Windows Defender

If you’re looking for a low-cost, easy-to-use security, you won’t beat the security suite included into Windows 10 and 11. Also referred to Microsoft Defender or Windows Security which combines antivirus security with an firewall, device performance monitoring, child protection online (you define the rules for what your children can do on their computer and devices) and other features.

In addition to the normal malware detection, prevention and neutralization capabilities, it comes with a password management tool and anti-phishing tools. The firewall monitors both outbound and inbound connections and Wi-Fi networks. It also comes with an advanced menu that allows you to view specific information about suspicious connections, which is a welcome touch.

In our tests, the program did a good enough job blocking phishing websites, as well as dangerous downloads. Its reputation-based security system makes use of an extensive database on the internet to assign apps and websites reputation scores. Programs that have low scores are automatically filtered out. It also provides protection against exploits. This protects against attacks attempting to change the settings of your computer.

It’s a decent product in general however, it doesn’t offer the malware detection rates that standalone competitors like Norton and Bitdefender have. It does have a password manager, however it doesn’t have other useful extras like a PC optimizer or VPN. The options for customer support are vast. There is a large community of users with comprehensive FAQs and forums as well as a variety of ways to reach an expert in tech via email or live chat.
