I have been running Windows Defender along with ESSET online scan for several years without any issues.
The nice thing about ESSET is, that after you do your first online scan, it will give you the option to automatically run the scan online once a month
But I like the idea of making Windows Defender even better, so thank you for this video

The best anti-virus is no anti-virus. I have used Widows built in since W7, no problems.

I make myself a User on my computer not as Admin. I set settings to ask for Admin permission before installing any programs. This looks interesting software and will have to give it a try. Thanks Brian always learn from your channel

I'm sorry if you've said thos before, but do you prefer this or DefenderUI? I actually didn't know ConfigureDefender was still being updated.

A simplewall video would be nice!! :)

Edit: It seems the two can co-exist just fine. Any changes made in ConfigureDefender will also be reflected in DefenderUI. Everyone please note that setting CD on Max will disable the Windows Security Center altogether, so keep that in mind and don't be scared when Windows Security shows up blank.

Thanks for the info!!! I had used AVG's suite for years, along with MalWare Bytes. Since my Windows 11 Pro clean install a few months ago, I'm only using Windows Defender. I still use AVG Tune up (and Secure VPN at times), but disable the registry cleaner part. I still scan with the free version of MalWare Bytes at least weekly. The best defense, as you point out, is using common sense and vigilance!
Sure going to try out this program, though!

[rajiyer]

I have had malwarebytes premium along with windows defender for several years no issues

[thinkingimpaired]

Thanks I needed to find out the details of windows defender.

These types of apps screwed up my defender even after the unwanted apps /files were removed it keeps trying to remove them with warning messages after month so I told it to ignore but still shows up so I uninstalled it and did core repair of win. system files and now back to normal.

[Sid-Cannon]

I'm guessing that having it on MAX settings but with Controlled Folder Access turned off will stop the incessant popups but leave you open to Ransomware, or am I missing something ?

[supergoofy]

Core Isolation/Memory Integrity makes my VMware and VirtualBox virtual machines slow, and a couple of them (with old Windows Guest OS) very slow. So, it is disabled by me always. Also, you will probably lose some fps in games.

Thanks for this video. What free antivirus would you recommend.

And about that simple firewall video, would really like it if you did a video on that.

[MichaelAmen]

@Britec09 I want to see a full video on how to harden a Windows based system.

[johngoard]

Hmm Brian mate since following your tutorial on making your machine only accept updates up and including version 23H2 ones using that gpedit process I have stopped getting the simple security updates that I was getting every day. Has it got something to do with this video??

[bleakyfinder]

hi Brian, i use DefenderUI with Windows Defender, have you heard of DefenderUI ?

[smirk_]

Britec have you used Sophos scan and clean? S&C is very similar to hitman pro but I haven't established if it is but it's completely portable and you don't have the option to sign in.

[eno]

I'd like to see a guide on how to install Bitdefender step by step and what would be your most recommended settings for using it.

[billyguthrie]

It's easier to just download DefenderUI click on reccomended an be done with it all together. Can't get easier than that.

[antoniiocaluso]

Hmmm...so IF one were to stay with W10, and then switch to BitDefender, then...wouldn't that combo provide a very-good PC, yes?!! gotta check it out...

[earlsjrcomputer]

Is this Software Disable, Disabling defender

[TheSagittarius]

dont ever turn on core isolation memory integrity... it might fail your windows with certain apps
