    No details of how the test was done. I suspect, as the tools to opt in are only available to enterprise customers, that PUA protection was not turned on. Brinks tutorial shows how any edition including Home can enable PUA protection, so maybe we'd see different results?

    Surprising, but Microsoft often gets things right, after some period of time.

    So if I want to ditch my (Comcast free) Norton security, what do I need to supplement Defender to get the same overall level of security, including firewall, anti-malware, etc. I don't use the Norton Identify Safe feature. I use LastPass as my password manager.

    I will freely admit that I don't know all the details of Defender, but I am impressed.

    (catch the reference? *Wink )
