Microsoft Defender is Microsoft's official application for managing security protections on various operating systems, such as Windows, Android, iOS, and macOS. While the name may cause confusion, as it was previously associated with the Windows 10 antivirus, it now specifically refers to the protection management included in Microsoft 365, known as "Windows Security" for antivirus purposes. The main screen of Microsoft Defender allows users to monitor the status of their devices, including the Windows computer being used and any others added to the application. Additionally, users can keep track of email accounts and credit card numbers to check for any involvement in hacks or breaches. Similar to other antivirus programs, Microsoft Defender constantly scans everything running on the computer, as well as files downloaded from the Internet or external storage drives. When a threat is detected, users have the option to delete or retain the file, with a detailed protection history available for review. To utilize Microsoft Defender, a paid subscription to Microsoft 365 is required. If you have multiple devices to monitor and a Microsoft 365 subscription, do not hesitate to download Microsoft Defender for comprehensive security management.
