    Windows Defender keylogger question

    This has probably been asked before, could not find it in the forum.
    Does Windows Defender prevent keyloggers attack.
    I'm not asking if it detect keylogger infections once the system is compromised, but before end.

    Keylogger detected on Windows 10

    You're welcome & thanks for your feedback.

    As of right-this-minute, yes. If not, you'll know soon enough (e.g., if the next Cumulative update for Win10 fails to install).

    PS: If & when you're ready to abandon McAfee Live$$$afe <wink> in favor of Windows Defender & Firewall, you'll need to repeat Steps #1 thru #6, #10 & #11 of the multi-step fix so you might wanna hang on to it for future use.
