  1. About Windows Defender?


    Where is the settings in Windows Defender for it to scan zip files as no such setting have been found?, already been to my Local Group Policy or Gpedit.msc and configured some questions relating to Windows Defender by enabling it and it made no difference whatsoever. Still had to do a full reinstall of Windows 10 due to trojans not detected in zip files and folders which I come across accidentally and by doing a full reset or repair or backup was not possible after being locked out. All other free antiviruses which I tried out one by one all showed it was scanning my downloaded zip file before I unzipped it and immediately alerted me of any trojan threats as shown on the screen popup before unzipping that file and once a zip file was detected that's it. Windows Defender has an allow button in its settings and already copped a trojan damage after allowing a detected file/program and ended up back to square one in having to do a full reinstall as the only way out. A trojan has always won access into my computer and ruined it, when all I have is Windows Defender as it is ?,or configured in the group policy. No other free antivirus which I used has allowed a trojan to win access to my computer not even ruin it either. I don't know what to add to Windows Defender so my next encounter with a trojan doesn't end up having to do a full reinstall. At the moment I am looking at moving over to your rival Kaspersky free antivirus which has shown proof in taking computer security way more seriously as not one detected trojan and nasties has ever gone through and no sign of any kind of a computer damage was seen either. Sad to say Windows Defender needs way further security improvements and trojan and nasty malware testing before it even comes close to any of its rivals in July 2020.Please re test Windows Defender further and you'll sooner or later come across where I am coming from ?,and was shocked by the results when a trojan had won when you didn't expect it..bye

    About Windows Defender?

    Thinking about Going back to Win8.1


    If want to disable IE, still can. However, can't uninstall it like were able to in XP/98/whatever.
    Here's how, although I find it useful in case Chrome or Firefox stops working and have to re-download it. *Wink
    1. Search for turn windows features on or off and click it in the search results.
