    This was available before via a reg file from one of Brink's tutorials. Nice to see it in the main stream build as it's handy to have.

    I'd like to hear how Windows Defender is different than other AVs.

    thanks Mr/Mrs salvemundum . i am using win 10 th 2 10586.494. many AV software's ranking as no.1 in some sites. why they didn't prefer windows . my hard disk is 212 gb. windows defender takes full time scanning for 6 hours. its too long. other AV are nearly
    1 1/2 hours

    The Spanish translation is a big typo. It says "scan with Windows Defender" (digitalizar con Windows Defender) as if you are using a scanner to acquire an image. *chuckle

    It only works if you have Windows Defender turned on. Other antivirus programs (Norton) turn Defender off and their way to scan a single file is not as convenient. Would you use Defender as your only protection?

    I think Windows Defender has grown a bigger set of bawls since TH2. It's turned off my AVAST 2 times and Activated/Updated itself over the last 5 days.

    Hey, if Windows Defender is just as good as Avast, Nortons, etc.. I'll just use it, since it's trying so hard to get my attention. I quit using Windows Defender back in the Windows-7 days because it never ever found a virus, yet the program was hogging RAM like crazy, while accumulating a huge batch of definition files on this P.C..

    Guess it's time to do a little internet research to see if the pendulum has swung, and it's now time to replace AVAST with DEFENDER.
