Microsoft defender ?

(1/2) > >>

REDACTED:
Hi fellow Avast users,

I am a newcomer to Avast (previously used Norton)and have become a fan of the free product. That said when I look at AV comparatives' real world test, it seems Microsoft's base product has gotten much better over the years. So why not just use Defender? Has anyone here thought about switching? Thoughts are welcome.

bob3160:
Definitely not. :)

DavidR:
Absolutely, NOT ;)

The avast free version has looked after my systems for just over 14 years.

mchain:
Avast Free is better than Defender, imo.  https://www.avast.com/en-us/compare-antivirus

A full-fledged antivirus for free?  Priceless. 

No malware infections since 2008.  Can/could Defender say/do that?

CraigB:
I find Defenders protection is up there with the best of them, personal use and statistics prove that.

Where Defender does lack is it's slower scanning of files, a little heavier on the system so to speak.
