With the release of Windows 10, Microsoft also released a new anti-virus application called 'Windows Defender'. As a lifelong user of the excellent antivirus software 'Norton Antivirus' I was highly skeptical. But after looking at my options and realizing I have no need for any other security software, I decided it would be worth giving Windows Defender a try. In this article I'll share my experience so far with this new application and let you know what I think of it so far! If you're on Microsoft's newest operating system, Windows 10, then you're probably going to want to use their newest antivirus application, also released with Windows 10: "Windows Defender". If you're familiar with Microsoft's previous application, "Windows Defender", then you'll know that it was really nothing more than an extremely basic set of tools for virus protection. That is sadly true of Windows Defender in Windows 10, but at least Microsoft has made an effort to expand the tools they provide in the new version. For anyone not in the know, Windows Defender is designed to be an antivirus program for anyone who doesn't own a third party anti-virus program. If you do use a third party anti-virus program, then you still can use Windows Defender but I'm not sure why anyone would do that when there are better options available. So how does it work? I'll get into that below, but first let me tell you about my experience with the application so far. So far I've been using Windows Defender on one of my laptops and am extremely pleased with how smooth it operates. It runs in the background and doesn't get in your way, which is what most people want from an anti-virus application. All the new bells and whistles Microsoft added to Windows Defender work great and give you a little more information about your system than was available in previous versions of "Windows Defender". One thing I'm not a huge fan of is the annoying "Note" that pops up after about three or four days of inactivity. It pops up and says: "Your device will be protected until you turn on Windows Defender again". That note might be nice if it were letting you know your system was un-protected, but it's not. As I said before, Windows Defender is meant to be an antivirus application for those who don't already use third party anti-virus software. So unless you were planning on upgrading to Windows 10 right away or if you plan to upgrade soon, then "Windows Defender" is really pointless for you. So what I want to know now is... how does it work compared to the previous "Windows Defender" antivirus application? The short answer is that it's a little bit better, but not by much. "Windows Defender" has a pop-up message that tells you if a particular file is a virus or not. It can be accessed from the main toolbar at any time, which makes those old antivirus programs look primitive now. Once you've made your scan, you can scan again as often as you like and it will keep checking for viruses as long as there is something new to check every few days. It gives you everything from known viruses to "Potentially Unwanted Programs". cfa1e77820
