What can I say? I was paying for one, but the f***er kept popping up ads for junklock. (lifelock) So...

So who's paying Security.org? Norton or McAfee? Defender is generally lighter weight on Windows and is on par with paid AV solutions at detection, cleaning, and false positives. Where it falls down is centralized management, but Microsoft has a solution for that that uses the Defender AV engine on the client.

OpenAI, an AI research and deployment company financially backed by Microsoft, has published a blog post urging caution and foresight for the development of artificial general intelligence (AGI), which is defined as AI that can perform any intellectual task that humans can. But, we'll keep working on creating it anyway

People have been saying this for decades.
There have been dozens of movies illustrating the point, like 2001: A Space Odyssey and Terminator.
Meanwhile, we're not even close to "true" artificial intelligence yet, it's all machine learning, i.e. statistics.
If people put as much effort into AI as in these types of publications we'd have an AI that could solve all of humanity's problems by now

And I hope it remains so...
But we are so dumb, that we will keep trying it until we "succeed"

Microsoft 365 Defender has AI-based capabilities, which the company says can detect and disable compromised accounts and services attackers are trying to use. Somewhere between "well" and "poorly", depending on your results

And by the time the EU regulators are done, those AIs will be conscious and that regulations will probably piss them off and set the first step towards the judgement day...

With generative AI being all the rage these days, Tabnine has updated its AI-powered code completion tool for Visual Studio Code with new functionality: unit testing. Now you can have an AI generate the stuff you weren't doing anyway!

Oh my, was it AI that generated all that stuff for me?, never would've thought.

Everyone who says "tech debt" assumes they know what we’re all talking about, but their individual pictures differ quite a bit. Just say, "we'll never get the code the way we want it"

Although Windows PCs already come with a built-in antivirus solution in the form of Windows Security, Microsoft also offers another standalone utility for Microsoft 365 subscribers, called Microsoft Defender. Hit the "Hyperspace" button!

Someone give the folks at Neowin a clue. Windows Defender is installed on every Windows 10 and later PC by default. Windows Security is a superset of Defender and includes hardware support such as TPM based Bitlocker, Core Isolation, and UEFI boot Firmware signing.

Before we all kick the bucket, someone should write a book about the old 2000's netsec community. Matt Miller (Skape) ended up at Microsoft. Ken (Skywing) ended up at the same. Spencer went to Symantec. Greg ended up founding HBGary with all it's controversy.
You should trust Windows Defender, the foundations were built by people who understood Windows security.

It’s the Defender app in particular:
Quote: The Defender app will soon be automatically added to your Windows 10 or Windows 11 device during a routine update of your Microsoft 365 apps. Look for it in the Start Menu and make sure to sign in to activate your protections.
Just another example of Microsoft naming getting in the way, IMO.

Defender has been part of Windows since at least Windows 10 RTM, and the back of my brain is saying Windows 8 RTM. Prior to that it was Security Essentials and was available for download for XP and Windows 7. What Microsoft is releasing is new enhancements relating to blocking the latest attack vectors.

Does it come with a manual...
|
|
|
|
|
It essentially works in automatic mode.
Besides, it is fairly well trained; it doesn't need manuals to stay in shape.

There's a lot of patterns in software engineering that many endorse. On the surface they sound reasonable. Sometimes, you just don't want to go to the convent
