Help me protect my computer and information

PROS

Microsoft Defender is per-build whenever the computer is install with windows operating system, so i do not have to install it manually as it will automatically activated at the same time that the windows is activated. I do not have to install other anti-virus software as this software has protecting my computer effectively.

CONS

There are not option to schedule or select a time for the software to downloading update for the software. It will slowing down my internet connection every-time it is updating and affecting me when i am using the computer while working.

provides adequate protection against the most common threats

Considering it comes for free with the Windows Operating System, it has high compatibility with the microsoft tools we commonly use. And that saves us time spent downloading .apk files and installing them. Also, updates and upgrades are mostly automated and do not require any additional time spent to carry them out. These are all great benefits Defender provides at zero cost to us, so I can't not love it regardless of its few flaws.

PROS

the best thing about Defender is that it comes at zero additional costs for full protection and product functionality. The spam detection and filtering mechanism allows for manual readjustments to permanently address cases of mislabeling and false alarms. The advanced parental control guidance it provides is also quite effective in it's range of custom adjustments to suit each potential user.

CONS

Scanning local drives can be painfully slow especially for huge file counts, even if the size of the scanned documents are tiny. They also fail to recognize certain low level threats that are easily detected by others.

Reason for choosing Microsoft Defender for Office 365

Defender was the cheaper option.

Reasons for switching to Microsoft Defender for Office 365

The persistent product license mishaps and accompanying stubborn notifications that never go away no matter how many times you disable them made using it very annoying.

I think it's the worst

It doesn't solve any problems, it just causes more. The only reason I have it is because it comes pre-installed

PROS

The only thing I like about Defender is that it is very simple to disable. It only represents an obstacle to install programs.

CONS

Its virus scans are the worst, it consumes a lot of RAM and gives very low results

Reasons for switching to Microsoft Defender for Office 365

Because I need an antivirus that does work

Microsoft Defender holds up to the attempt to sell something and that's only the tip of the iceberg

My organization uses Defender for office 365 across all gadgets, including Windows and Linux servers. For my purposes, Defender's capacities are over some other AV apparatus I recently utilized. A portion of the primary advantages for us are: Cloud Console Cloud based refreshes Live insurance

PROS

Works really hard isolating sketchy messages that might have dubious connections.

CONS

To utilize this item to its full capacities, Intune will be required

Reason for choosing Microsoft Defender for Office 365

Our utilization case is for monetary gatherings and we use it to control malware, as well concerning antivirus. Our attention is on involving it as an endpoint arrangement, however we cover the more established servers as well.

My Microsoft Defender for Office 365 review

If you want the least intrusive security solution for your computer, Windows Defender is the way to go.

PROS

Our organization was gifted Microsoft office 365 business premium for free. "Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection" anti-malware, anti-phishing, anti-spam software's has been a great addition. The best part is that it immediately triggers or alarms if any malicious item or threat is detected, and it comes with an analysis report to help you fix it. It simply protects our organization by operating behind the shield, providing us with a secure platform with an added layer of security and protection. In today's workplace, email is one of the most common and powerful forms of communication; we rely heavily on email communications with colleagues, collaborators, and donors. However, email is the most common attack vector used by threat actors to target and compromise your users in order to breach the security environment of our organization!

CONS

Our organization's policies determine the behavior and level of protection for predefined threats. The security team at our organization, for example, can set up fine-grained threat protection at the user, organization, and domain levels. Because new threats and challenges emerge on a daily basis, policies must be reviewed on a regular basis.

Reason for choosing Microsoft Defender for Office 365

To detect malicious payloads in files, emails, and all types of external drives, we use Microsoft Defender Antivirus. It aids us in detecting any malicious load that may endanger the security of any of our systems.

Confidence

In my case I have been using Microsoft Defender since I had Windows 10 for the first time a few years ago and I never had to format or restore the equipment due to a virus infection. Microsoft Defender is an antivirus that performs excellently with its commitment always and when we separate what we download from the internet and there is a case of its warnings.

PROS

It's great that for both Windows 8 and Windows 10 you don't need to install an antivirus because your operating system has one built in and cataloged as very good, with Microsoft Defender. Excellent antivirus and very easy to use, its menus are very intuitive divided into sections with relevant information that are easy to understand, constant updates and it includes a Firewall to keep yourself protected from the threats of the red, as well as the control of the accounts of User granting no permissions for ciertas actions. Microsoft Defender is everything you are looking for to be safe with your computer and to be an integrated program in the system we will not have any type of advertising and its notifications are not abusive as far as recursion is concerned. We practically don't know what's there.

CONS

It's very strict around the uninstallation of the misma, it's impossible. Also enabling its features, it is not possible to disable all its functions when the user has amerite. There is no total control of the antivirus but it is understandable because it is integrated into the system.

Mircosoft Defender for Office 365, The best for Windows 10

I started using this software a long time ago since I upgraded from Windows 7 Vista to Windows 10. At first, I was using the default version but then later when I started studying in the university I began to use the institutional account for accessing office 365 products. This version is so amazing and more secure than the default one offering so many features.

PROS

Offering so much security, real-time protection, and ease to use. It's also customizable allowing the user to select features from different categories allowing full control of all the settings and preferences used.

CONS

Some files are deleted suddenly which I use in games and other installed programs. In some cases, I can recover those files but in other cases, It's complicated, even the software itself provides a feature to recover the fil.

Is Microsoft Defender the best Antivirus program!

It help me to be confident when downloading files from untrusted websites, where dangerous apps or files can easily be flagged a warning sign.

PROS

What i like most about Microsoft defender its free for all pc with windows 7 or higher and very useful at detecting malware files, network-based attacks, and flagging phishing sites. Compared to other third parties antivirus programs where you have to pay unless you will endup using the free trials with limited features.

CONS

Though Microsoft defender its free, But its not 100% effective compared to other third party antivirus scanner where they are very effective and with malware detection rates are higher compared to Microsoft defender, also windows defender is not user friendly so for beginners may find it very hard to use.

I am in safe zone with Microsoft Defender for Office 365

I use Microsoft Defender for Office 365 in combination with other Microsoft products and find it quite useful. Its configuration is already done. You do not need to do anything. It works well, especially for e-mail protection. It still needs improvement for virus attacks.

PROS

My favorite thing about Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is its high protection in Microsoft Outlook. I get a lot of e-mails every day because of work. Some sender of these emails, unfortunately, are not in good faith. However, Microsoft Defender for Office 365 protects my mailbox from malware and other threats.

CONS

Best way to protects your PC and documents

My overall experience of microsoft ddefender is outstanding. I have been using it for more than two years without any issues. It has provided a better security for office 365 files in my workplace and personal emails in my business. It is a good application that provides a proper service for users.

PROS

This application provides an incredible protection for our files and emails from malware and other attacks from external devices or internet. There are some useful features in this application such as removing uncomfortable files from PC, scanning the PC wholly or partly, creating backup files of emails and other documents. Therefore I can say that, all our data is fully safe with this Microsoft Defender application.

CONS

Personally I have not faced any issues yet. It always provides a better service for my work and therefore I can highly recommend it for those who wish to use it.

The best thing about Microsoft defender for 365 is his price since it comes with office 365. If you are looking for a way to protect you e-mail or your online documents, you probably already have it and don't need to buy another software.

Very basic, very limited protection suit

I have used it in the office as part of the security of every station. But really I do more by exerting common sense that relying on this antivirus.

PROS

It is easy to use and does a decent work keeping the spam out of my email. But as antivirus capabilities it is very limited and most of the time it leaved the door open to a lot of bad stuff.

CONS

It is very demanding of resources, I have a very powerful station and sometimes it bloats so much the resources that bends my machine to a crawl till it release the process. It is really like explorer in the 2000's. It is an antivirus to have something till you get another one.
