Hello everyone!
This may be a dumb question so some but i feel that there are no dumb questions, only dumb answers LOL!
I have Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center and the only protection i use is the Windows Defender.
I have been happy with the Anti-Virus Protection of Windows Defender... BUT, i am hoping for a bottom line answer to the following questions because when i Google these questions, i get more filler/jargon than a bottom line answer.
1) Does Windows Defender provide Anti-Spyware protection?
2) Does Windows Defender provide Anti-Trojan protection?
3) Does Windows Defender provide other Anti-??? protection?
If one or more of the questions above is not provided by Windows Defender, What is the most effective but, simple program/software that provides one or more of what Windows Defender provides (Signally or Combined)?
I am not looking to replace the Windows Defender for Anti-Virus protection.
When i look for ratings/reviews for hardware/software, I do primarily look at Top Ten Reviews and/or Consumer Reports (though Consumer Reports is not a great resource for most/many PC software/hardware ratings/reviews) and i will also Google around as well as look at different forum sites depending what i am looking for.
Thank you very much!
