Yesterday my friend told me this thing called microsoft defender update. Can you please tell details and uses of this? Reply as soon as possible.
Microsoft defender is a so called no 1 antivirus. An antivirus is program or software which protects your computer for various kinds of viruses, malware which enters your computer through internal or external means. Turning on the defender protects your computer from these kinds of things. You must always keep this defender up to date by updating it on regular intervals. Hope this helps.
Windows Defender is a kind of antivirus application that is built into Microsoft Windows 8. Just like any antivirus programs, Windows Defender helps you protect your computer by identifying and removing viruses, spyware, and other malicious program. Just like the behavior of an ordinary antivirus program, Windows Defender starts with Windows and it runs in the background monitoring every activity in the system.
You will be notified when you are required to take an action on something that was picked up. You can also use it to scan your computer for malware if you are noticing something is wrong. The original antivirus program developed by Microsoft is Microsoft Security Essentials. Version 4.0 and earlier supports Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
In version 4.5 and later, Microsoft Security Essentials dropped support for Windows XP. In Microsoft Windows 8, Microsoft Security Essentials was replaced by Windows Defender. Windows Defender is also the built-in antivirus program for Microsoft Windows 10.
