Windows 10: Windows 10 Defender

First problem with Defender is how long it takes to run a full scan. Truly dismal. Second problem with defender is how much CPU process it uses on start-up. Third problem, no information on how , or what, it scans when running.

 

On here, it's quicker and consumes less resources than Norton Internet Security. Whole machine is faster since unloading NIS. Just hope I'm covered ...

 

You might want to add the free version of Malwarebytes to help protect you.

Download here, decline the trial of the paid version unless you want it.
Malwarebytes | Free Cyber Security & Anti-Malware Software

 

Plan to go there next. Thanks.

 

Great, a lot of us use only both on our 'puters.

 

Have to agree with you on this. Truly dismal lack of information.

 

No, it's not very informative. Wonder about the new version in the Creators Update?

 

One computer has SUPERAntiSpyware w/defender
The other has AVG and malwarebytes
I will be OK I guess once you get use to the pop ups and block as many as you can the other are them killed in the process manager

I have one pop up that always pops when on movie site searches that windows pop up bah bah bah important data...... I get by closing mouse window and explorer at same time .hard with it say breach breach over and over. Some call the number which dead end

 

I use Norton 360 through my ISP (CenturyLink) and it seems to do a good job. I use Malwarebytes and Superantispyware as well. I also use Ccleaner. I run those programs and full scan from Norton monthly. I have never found a virus on any of my systems. I run a quick check on my systems daily such as checking for updates and application updates as well as running quick scans daily. My systems are very fast. I love what the Creators Update brought out to Windows 10 when it comes to security.

 

the Box from Cyber-power has the Windows 10 Home I have another box (tower) and it has windows 10 professional on it and i have had the preview win 10 on it and have had no troubles with and with out any protection just behind the modem and i like trying different anti virus programs on it just changed from Comodo back to DEFENDER so far it has been good Malwarebytes and Ccleaner and a Glasswire program forjust getting to know what comes and goes through the wire, when I run Ccleaner along with I also clear internet options by way of browser and also run other window file cleaning tricks with %temp% in the run box.
My issues are in the browsers i guess where the pop ups come from but thats a different Deal

 

Just installed the Malwarebytes Premium. I ought to be safe. We'll see.

 

Just an FYI, if you would like them (MBAM & Defender) to co-exist without fighting in the sandbox, set this in settings. It will not register in Windows as the primary/sole AV.

 

Thank you Sir. Did wonder about that one and left it set to default recommended. Have now corrected that. Again, Thank You.

 

You're welcome. Will need to reboot, to make sure both sides are happy.

 

Ah. OK, I'll do that in a minute.
