Microsoft Defender is an essential app for managing your Windows Defender protections across multiple operating systems, including Windows, Android, iOS, and macOS. Previously known as the Windows 10 antivirus, it is now part of the broader Microsoft 365 suite, with the antivirus component renamed to "Windows Security." From its main screen, you can easily check the status of all your devices and monitor sensitive items like email accounts and credit card numbers for potential hacks or data breaches. Microsoft Defender continuously scans all running processes and downloaded files, ensuring your system remains secure. If a threat is detected, you have the option to delete or keep the file, with a detailed protection history available for review. To access Microsoft Defender, a Microsoft 365 subscription is required. If you already have Microsoft 365 and want to safeguard multiple devices, download Microsoft Defender today for comprehensive protection.
Great app! Microsoft Defender is easy to use and does a solid job at protecting my files. I do wish there were more tutorials or guides for new users, but it’s definitely worth the download!
