Re: Why does Windows Defender Get such a Bad Rep?
I agree that Defender is pretty decent as a real-time scanner. But as a cleanup tool, I just don't have warm feelings for it.
You're right that testers often have their own agendas, but I have yet to see any results from anyone that says Defender does a good job at cleaning up after a mess that already exists. This is quite unlike a program like SUPERAntiSpyware, which has lots of nice testimonials.
One thing you already showed in your photos that I would like to reinforce is to make sure the "Software that has not yet been classified for risks" box is checked. This really helps make Defender even better by warning the user about unrecognized changes made to the system. |
