Windows 10: Microsoft Defender is awful trash.

This "Anti Malware" is absolutely atrocious. There is no simple way to Disable the software. Any attempts to Disable the software are overruled every time you FORCE an update.This "Anti Malware" is actually using the largest portion of memory on my device. This is enough to be concerning, as any downloaded software on my end has a long standing reputation in the community. I also only use HTTPS Valid websites, without opening any Social Media Links. It's enough GPU, CPU, and Memory Usage that I FULLY believe that you are forcing peer to peer Crypto Mining on my PC.Get rid of this garbage pile

:)

Hi Ian,

Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

This issue might occur if you have set any task scheduler for Windows Defender.

I suggest you to delete the task for Windows defender and check if it helps.

Follow the below steps:

• 
  Search and open Schedule tasks.
  
• 
  In the left-hand menu, open the Task Scheduler Library, then select
  Microsoft >Windows >Windows Defender.
  
• 
  Double-click Windows Defender Scheduled Scan.
  
• 
  Select the Triggers panel, then select Delete.
  

Hope it helps, reply to us with the status of your issue. We will be happy to assist you.

 

Better free alternative to microsoft defender?

Windows Defender, Bill?

Yeah. Same thing. Definitions to stay up to date on threats of course, but thats really just a list of tricks and signatures.

You don't have to be. You just have to be smart enough to break their shit. You can take it apart and reverse engineer it and marvel later (I was impressed by a clients just recently). It's not hard to be up to date enough to keep malware a.) mostly off your machine in the first place and b.) limit it's damage when it does appear to your machine via network and best practices.

Some may call my approach inconvienient, but it DOES work.
