Windows Defender is a security protection system from Windows that is quite useful. However, sometimes we need to turn it off, like when installing an application that can be considered a virus.
Windows Defender is an important part developed by Microsoft to complement the latest version of Microsoft Windows. Windows defender can be said to be an antivirus. It is a security line refresh to replace Microsoft Security Essential in earlier versions of Windows.
I as a user feel quite confident with the ability of an antivirus on the Windows platform after switching to
Windows 10. Different when I use Windows 7 or Windows XP. Because at that time I had to install an additional antivirus application from a third party, Windows Defender in the latest Windows became a default antivirus with protection that was quite useful for me.
In fact, there are several application programs that are ordinary applications sometimes considered dangerous because they are considered to access things that smell of privacy on our computers. This protection has been done since we will install the application, as some installers from the application are sometimes blocked by Windows Defender in Windows 10.
Well because of that, sometimes we have to turn off Windows Defender for a while, so that we can install applications that are considered dangerous.
Windows Defender is a fairly complete application, which offers some protection such as antivirus and firewall to protect the computer devices that we will have. However, no matter how strong the protection used can be temporarily disabled.
