Maximum PC: Windows 8 ships with a new version of Windows Defender that’s supposed to offer the same level of protection as Microsoft Security Essentials. Along with other security upgrades, we’re left wondering if there’s any reason to saddle up with a third-party antivirus program. To find out, we compared Windows Defender with Avast, which as we discovered in last month’s antivirus roundup is a formidable ally to have by your side as you romp around the web.
And, for once, some of what it can do looks genuinely useful.
The blog post reads, “We’re introducing a new WhatsApp app for Windows that loads faster and is built with an interface similar to the app's mobile version.”
Since the middle of February, customers of AMD graphics cards have been reporting situations in which Windows installations were entirely bricked after installing new drivers.
Seems handy
Windows Defender lost? No surprise there. Avast FTW!
Really!?
Windows Defender vs. Avast...... Is this supposed to be a serious article.
If anyone picks either of these due to this article i will hold my head in shame at the human race!
I currently have AVG on vista, is avast better at not slowing down the OS?
Microsoft Security Essentials..
I had Avast then I switched to MSE
