Re: Why does Windows Defender Get such a Bad Rep?

The reason I don't like WD, and am not running it now, is because last time I tried it I needed to have automatic updates turned on in window. I don't like having wu turned on, I do manual updates only. So a no go for me.

Here is how you get manual updates for WD without auto updates turned on.

»www.microsoft.com/security/portal/

On the right side of the page that says latest definition updates.

When I was using WD on home PC got WD updates without WU on auto from WD's Help "Check for Updates".

Right now only have WD on office PC which is on 24/7 and WU set to notify only. I have WD Options set to do Daily Scans @ 2:00 AM and to "Check for updated definitions before scanning"; hence its always updated.
