Enhanced Windows Defender for Windows 10
Windows Defender is developed and integrated into Windows 10, providing real-time protection and daily updates against malware and viruses, surpassing third-party security suites.
Furthermore, the antivirus software has evolved into the Windows Defender Security Center in the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, ensuring all security features are readily available on the operating system. This means users can quickly access other security tools such as firewall settings and parental controls, making everything much more streamlined on Windows 10.
Security assessments by AV-Comparatives were conducted on systems running Windows 10 Fall Creators Update with updated software such as Adobe Flash, Java, and Acrobat Reader.
According to AV-Comparatives: 'The top antivirus software evaluations today are based on assessments of 203 direct test cases (malicious URLs found on-site), including exploitation of vulnerabilities and URLs leading directly to malware. Therefore, similar infection vectors are used as those experienced by regular users in their daily activities.'
