![]() ![]() What I like best is how Defender is baked into Windows and does not interfere with anything in the OS. It also works in conjunction with Smartscreen. There are some tweaks and adjustments you can make to Defender now to set it how you want for PUP detection, Controlled Folder Access/Ransomware, Tamper Protection and other features. I have never had a need for it personally. You can search online for Andy Ful's Configuredefender tool to harden and enhance Defender. I also use the Bitdefender Trafficlight extension and Adblock Plus, both work great together with Defender and that is all I need. My system runs quick and light, smooth as glass with Windows Security. ![]() It works very well and ranks right up there with the big gun popular paid AVs as far as protection and usability/system impact goes. I have experimented with a few third party AVs and always came back to Defender. ![]() Defender will not turn on if you have any residual Norton files left behind. It is best to use the dedicated Norton Removal Tool to remove Norton completely. When you remove Norton, Defender should turn on or at the most it may ask you for a few clicks in the Security Center to get it going. With all the things going on lately at Symantec I am not surprised at all that Norton is no longer free with Comcast. citation needed Anti-virus software authored by Kaspersky Lab has been known to make extensive use of kernel code patching on x86 editions of Windows. I have Comcast too, and have never really cared much for their version of Norton. Some computer security software, such as McAfee s McAfee VirusScan and Symantec s Norton AntiVirus, worked by patching the kernel on x86 systems. ![]()
