To be pedantic, it's called Microsoft Defender (formerly Microsoft Security Essentials) on Windows 10. ;)
Den:
Oooooooooooooooooooops ;D
Clive:
Does Microsoft Defender have to be turned on or is it there in the background anyway? I've never seen any reference to it on my computers.
Simon:
It will be turned on by default unless you have any other anti-virus software on the machine, as other anti-virus software will disable Microsoft Defender. You may have to re-enable Microsoft Defender having removed other anti-virus software.
Den:
I know it's early days, but after running other paid for anti-virus software (Kaspersky, Norton, Bullguard and Mcafee) over the years my computer seems to be running smoother and even quicker at the moment, time will tell. :thumb:
It kicked in as soon as I un-installed Kaspersky and then asked if I wanted to run a quick scan.
