With the arrival of Windows 10, Microsoft officially incorporated, albeit somewhat covertly, an application that was already available in previous versions, but which with Windows 10 it had taken a special role, since its prominence increased considerably, being an ideal protection method. I am talking about Windows Defender.
Since its launch, many have been antivirus developers who have claimed that Windows Defender, included natively in Windows 10, has managed to reduce antivirus sales, recognizing that this tool is an excellent alternative to traditional antivirus, hence if you have Windows 10 installed, it is not necessary to invest money in buying an antivirus.
Most antivirus, offer us a large number of options, many of them absurd with which they try to alert users to the dangers of surfing the Internet without protection, as if we were doing it through a minefield. Taking a little care and not clicking on all the buttons where we are invited to download content, it is very easy to enjoy the Internet, even without having a browser installed.
Windows Defender, incorporates the necessary tools to be protected at all times, as long as we make normal use of the Internet and do not dedicate ourselves to downloading any application. While it is true that Windows Defender warns us whenever we want to install an application, especially when it is from an unknown developer, it cannot work miracles, but neither Windows Defender nor any other antivirus.
If we like to go testing applications left and right, but we want to have the necessary peace of mind so that our computer is not infected, the best option is to always go to the Microsoft Store, where all the applications that are available have been supervised by Microsoft and are free of viruses, malware, spyware and other harmful elements not only for the health of our equipment, but also for our privacy.
