Microsoft Defender is an anti-malware software developed by Microsoft that offers comprehensive threat prevention, detection, and response capabilities for everyone. It helps individuals and families protect their devices and online identities with malware protection, real-time monitoring, and more. Microsoft Defender Antivirus is available for free on computers running Windows and offers basic virus protection software, although a third-party antivirus or anti-malware software may be more comprehensive. It was first released as a free anti-spyware program for Windows XP and has since evolved into a full antivirus program, replacing Microsoft Security Essentials in Windows 8 and later versions. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is another cloud-powered endpoint security resource that helps stop attacks and evolves defenses. Windows Security, which includes Microsoft Defender Antivirus, protects your Windows device and data against viruses, ransomware, trojans, and other malware unless a non-Microsoft Antivirus is active.
