Microsoft Kills off ISVs by Foisting Its Own Products That Are No Better
A lot in here about Defender/Microsoft Security Essentials.<p>> [MSE] doesn’t have: parental control, built-in VPN, webcam protection, password manager, backups, exploit protection, protection for online banking and online shopping,  proactive protection against future threats and dozens scores hundreds of other features which are all useful in providing maximum protection and a better user experience<p>That's exactly what I like about it. Stuff the "user experience": I don't want an AV product that tries to run my life for me. (I don't want Windows 10 to do it either, which is why I tried it for less than a week and went back to Windows 7.) AV products are bloated, difficult to use and always in your face when they should just silently remove viruses. Which is what MSE does for me.
