So, for an extra 21 per user per month, organizations wont have to deal with other vendors. The upgrade comes with a hefty price increase from 36 per user per month to 57 per user per month.

Mostly for privacy reasons, but my main point here is, I would NEVER use a free antivirus program other than the ones listed above, I can guarantee you that they are most likely selling your data, and gathering info about you in the background. The company has made endpoint security, along with Defender enhancements, a key focal point of upgrading from E3 to E5 licensing. There is only 2 antivirus programs I trust, Windows Defender, and Malwarebytes. So, is it good or is it bad? Or is this just a matter of preference?Īlso on a bit of an semi-unrelated topic What is some good anti-virus/firewall apps for Android, that is free and doesn't ask too much from performace? It has anti-virus, account security, firewall and network-protection and so on. So this makes me think Windows Defender is bad, but when I look at it (with 0 experience in IT-Security so far, mind you) it seems good enough. Though for my PC's I was wondering Would Windows Defender alone be good enough for security? I often see people in video's talking about that you need to install anti-virus software, but Windows already has anti-virus software.

I'm in the process of cleaning up my devices and making them secure against any threats.

Is microsoft defender good enough
