Do you use the native default Windows 10 Windows Defender as your sole security/av protection? Checking just now, I see it's now called "Windows Security" I think: o Win+I > Update and Security > Windows Security > [Open Windows Security] I looked for a version but couldn't find that - but it did say this: No current threats. Last scan: 8/30/2020 9:25 PM (quick scan) 0 threats found Scan lasted 1 minutes 25 seconds 38578 files scanned In a recent thread, someone lamented that Office 2007 wasn't updated, where I commented that the functionality for a casual home user is the same on any Office version, and, that I had not had a virus in decades if security was the issue. Then I got to thinking _why_ (to my knowledge) I haven't had a virus in decades, and I don't really know why, particularly since I install hundreds of freeware apps and therefore consider myself a freeware junkie. Maybe Windows Defender actually works? o Dunno. I never thought about it all that much, so this question comes to mind to ask you, whether your _sole_ AV/security program is Windows Defender. Is it? Do you use the native default Windows 10 Windows Defender as your sole security/av protection? -- Usenet is a wonderful way to get setup opinions from around the world.
