Microsoft calls its Windows security hub Windows Security, its antivirus is named Microsoft Defender Antivirus and sometimes Windows Defender, and its firewall is Windows Defender Firewall. If you are like me, you may assume that it is a new antivirus product or at least an improved version of their previous Windows Defender. Microsoft Defender is a new app that, according to Microsoft, is designed to help protect our data and devices from malicious threats.įollowing Microsoft’s tradition of poorly chosen names, the Microsoft Defender app can mislead you into thinking it’s something else than it truly is.
