In fact, there was no prompt to tell me that it wouldn't. There was a BitDefender giveaway openly posted on this forum last week, it would unzip, but not install. If I need AV I will use Avast or BitDefender. I hate AVG, I used it in the past and had nothing but problems. Mine's about 15GiB also, with a few software choices installed. Will have to check that out.Īnd that was w/out an Office install.
It would be great if we could go into Services & disable all of these options, it may be that one can, if another security is installed. Though I know that the Windows OS's aren't your favorite, you may as well have AVG 2014 installed, as it does work with the Windows Technical Preview, and does catch threats. I have a great feeling that all of that process use is for nil, that's the same Windows Defender that ships with Windows 7, which also catches nothing, with a facelift. Because she told the truth, in stating that both Windows Defender & MSE are "baseline" choices, and she, not the editors, nor I, said it.
Though it shows where it stands, a red line around the 89-90% mark, a very poor showing.Īnd while MS Security employee Holly Stewart's words were taken out of context by tech writers, she is one MS employee that I respect.
AV-Comparatives, a well reputable outfit who runs tests on security, and one employee has no idea of which other employee is running the identical brand for sampling, doesn't even include Microsoft security any longer for benchmark tests. WD is what the mag editors says, garbage. To this date, Windows Defender has never blocked anything, while on Windows 7/XP (when supported), MSE would catch & block some threats. Though MBAM Pro would block many malware infested pages along my travels, which was my sole purpose, to force Windows Defender to do something, even if it was wrong. While it's good to have inbuilt security, Windows Defender is total garbage, and has never blocked any download that I've attempted to get, or open (I tested it heavily with the Windows 8 Previews). In that amount of time, 6 to 7 scans had been ran. I opened CCleaner & ran the Analyze part just after 2 hours of use. That's a high amount of usage for whatever "System Interrupts" are, and Windows defender on lesser powered hardware will use more resources, as it's constantly scanning, like wide open.
