Is Windows Defender Good Enough in 2024? | Overview, tests, and alternatives!

🧨 Grab the best antivirus software for 2024 to pair with Windows Security! 🧨

Windows Defender or Windows Security comes free with any Windows OS, promising you to keep your device safe. But you know how it goes with built-in apps - they tend to be bad or simply too basic. And with ever-increasing online threat complexity, basic won't do. So let’s find out - is Windows Defender good enough for 2024, in my updated Windows Defender review… I mean, Security…

--------------------------------
🔐 Personal Testing for Windows Security

Onto my own testing… The process was the same as with all other antiviruses. Placing 10 malware files on my device and running the full scan. After around 10 minutes, Windows Security managed to catch 4 of the 10 malware files. Of course, that's not great If we compare Bitdefender or Norton vs Windows Defender - they catch 9 or 10 files constantly.

--------------------------------
⚙️ Windows Security Setup and Ease of Use

Now, as for its setup, there really isn't one, it's already in Windows OS so you can use it immediately. But for the design and functionality, it's okay, not the best but definitely cleaner and more understandable than previously. If we compare the UI with other antiviruses, it clearly lacks any sort of animations or visually pleasing effects. It can look too simplistic for some, but I for one love this approach.

--------------------------------
🤖 Windows Security extras and alternatives

Now there are more useful tools that Windows Security has, including device health options, but we're not going to go into it. It's mostly self-explanatory and I want to only focus on the security aspect. Windows Security also includes file encryption, Core Isolation, and Reputation-based protection. So safe to say that you shouldn't abandon Windows built-in tools, just improve protection with an antivirus that can actually fend off all online threats. Norton, TotalAV, or Bitdefender would be perfect fits for this.

--------------------------------
⭐ Conclusion

Well, after looking at Windows Defen… I mean Windows Security - it's a decent built-in basic-level protection. It's better and more optimized than it was before - cleaner, faster, easier to use. But, when it comes to actually protecting your device, it’s still way below even the industry average. And you don't deserve just average, you deserve the best, so pack Windows Security with Norton or Bitdefender, and you’ll have an unstoppable combo…

💻As your online habits expand, so should your security measures! Check out these best antivirus recommendations ⤵

[callmethreeone]

I'll take a virus over Norton, any day.

[deadlygrandma]

Interesting video that unfortunately lost all credibility when starting to recommend Norton

[ekmrv]

Can you review the product when paired alongside Microsoft's Endpoint Detection and response?

[ilivedowntheroad]

Norton spams with product offers, even when disabling notifications. I switched to Bitdefender. No spam notifications

[Steve_Monkey]

Could you please review open-source AV's

[Rendy]

My country's informatics department still uses this technology, only this technology

[marianoavilesmusic]

Hi! Could you review Microsoft Defender? I currently have this antivirus that came with the Microsoft Office package, and I'm not sure how secure it is. I'm planning to switch to Bitdefender.

Its funny how right after uninstalling mcaffe AV, my PC acts like its thinking all the time and 6gbs of ram are constantly used of 32gb. Didnt they already get busted for sending virus's after someone uninstalled😂😂.😢😢

[bjarkesvenningsen]

So all the experts NOT advertising for a product like you do, say that Norton is almost like a virus.. so its kinda funny to watch this :D

[MelodicalDog]

So the issue with all these reveiws is they are assuming that the virus gets onto the pc in the frirst place. A better test would be to simulate from browser to post-instilation. Web browsers in themselves do have protection as well. In the 11 years i have been using common sense©️ and windows security, I have never had an infection.

using norton 360 delux here for up to 5 devices use here ben using since 2010 but the only cons is its high on cpu usage when doing full scan 70 80% cpu usage meaning if you do full scan its better not to do anything just let scan run

[valerianne]

les 3 meilleur AV 3e Eset, 2e bitdefender, 1er Kasperky

[Steve_Monkey]

I use Norton 360 for myself and family. Works great, no issues.

[iamwitchergeraltofrivia]

😂 conected to public Network okay for more malware

[amr-elden]

Creative as usual, thanks for the review. I don’t like Windows Defender. It’s not excellent security. I wish God success for you and all those working on your channel. I trust you very much. I love you and may God love you for honesty. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[theRogMick]

I'd rather choose McAfee over Norton
