i think yes, the new Windows Defender good enough to replace a full fledged desktop security program.
Microsoft may be improving security but it wont be fail safe. If anti-virus companies can prove that they are capable of detecting viruses that Windows Defender misses, or provide solutions quicker than Microsoft can, then they still have value. Only time will tell.
windows 7 have already done it for me. I just use MSE and I have no problem BTW unlike the others MSE doesn’t slow down my pc.
NEW Windows Defender will not going to be able to completely replace other AV’s in the market as everybody already knows that how much capable is MSE and how much capable is their rival products.
New windows defender will sure be useful and sufficient for new and basic user but i am damn sure that the advanced or moderate user needs more features and security.It is not possible to ruin the Reputation of some companies like Kaspersky ,Bitdefender and Of course Avast.
But we will have to wait and see.
The built-in theory is good for now, but “hackers” would find this as an interesting challenge.
One would, quite literally leave an open door to the codes and algorithms, because it’s part of the system root.
Phrase of rule for hackers/programers “If it’s their in full, it’s hackable”.
They, for the most, love PHP injections and other Unix scripting.
Dogmatic mind set on this issue is voluntary embeddment for the egotistical or burned outs.
