When I was younger, the standard windows firewall was seen as weak and worth replacing asap with premium or strong free anti viruses, like Avast. What changed to make Windows Defender competitive? It looks like a few years ago something suddenly happened and now everybody on the market has great protection.
In: Technology
A few years ago, Microsoft made big improvements to its built-in antivirus, Windows Defender, making it much stronger and better at catching bad stuff. This means it became just as good as other antivirus programs you used to have to buy or get for free, like Avast. So now, you don’t need extra antivirus because Windows Defender can do a great job all by itself, keeping your computer safe from viruses and other bad things.
