Windows Defender

Hi guys, just saw at an advert on Facebook after the recent stories about peoples' Yahoo accounts being hacked. Do you think that Windows Defender and Malwarebytes are sufficient for Windows 8.1 and if not what would you recommend? I have had these both on my pc for quite some time with no real...

I have a virus (very high uploads started in Dec 1). I've run Windows Defender and Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool. Neither detected the problem. What should I do next - a reinstall?

I have installed windows 10. Yesterday during during browsing a virus enters into my pc. I want to scan it through windows defender. But whenever I am trying to scan 'C' drive through custom scan of Windows Defender it suddenly ends and showing not threat found. How to fix this problem.

Hi, I have a Dell Latitude 3540 on Windows 10 and I can't get into safe mode. I hit F8 at boot and it brings me to a screen that has windows defender offline on it.  If I either cancel that or let the scan run, it reboots again after.  If I have multiple failed reboots, that also takes me to...

Tbh i'm not sure exactly how this happened but it keeps coming up in my action centre that neither of the antiviruses' are turned on. When I click turn on, on avast in the action centre, it asks me if I trust the publisher, to which I click yes but it stays switched off. I've tried uninstalling...

I have a windows 10, and before i had avas antivirus, or smth like that. I've uninstalled avas since like 1 year (that i got windows 10) and now, i was wondering if Windows Defender is good enough? I'm doing a full scan right now btw

I had this weird unknown.exe I noticed in my task manager today that was using 99% of the cpu. I downloaded this strange torrent yesterday that I suspected was not legit. I'm wondering why defender did not catch this. It catches torrents sometimes before I even have a chance to scan them. Is...

I have a refurbished HP PC that I use mainly for work, but I am wondering if I should install something because Windows Defender continues to shut off rather consistently, and I am afraid of not being protected on a continuous basis. Should I just disable Defender and install something else? Or...

Beginning this afternoon, I began having problems connecting to common websites I am on every day (Foxnews, Iheartradio, etc.) I ran a full virus scan with Windows defender and it came up clean. After hearing many on Tom's recommend Malwarebytes free software, I Googled "Malwarebytes Free" and...

Hi, i downloaded the catchem pokemon go bot from github. But Windows Defender detects "Trojan:Win32/fethar.c!cl". What is this trojan, is it bad or false positiv?

I've been using AVG Free for as long as I can remember. Since the Windows 10 upgrade I've been using Windows Defender, along with my paid version of MBAM Premium. Question 1: Is it worth it to buy a paid version of AV software if I don't visit shady sites and don't torrent? Is my current...

so i was searching the internet for custom gpu backplates when i came across a reddit thread. This guy said that his website was a good site to purchase custom made backplates for any given gpu. Being stupid, i clicked the link. It redirected me to a "SYSTEM ERROR/FAILURE" message and that my ip...

I finished installing Windows 7 SP1 and was ready to install the updates, but was not sure as to whether I should update Windows Defender. After doing some research, Windows Defender remains an anti-spyware application from Windows Vista to 7 (but was later expanded upon as an ant-virus in 8 and...
