    If it is, it's only a matter of time before crackers find a way around that.
    Microsoft is smart, but someone is always smarter.

    My biggest peeve is trying to shut down my computer, I keep on moving my mouse to the right and forgetting that that menu doesn't exist anymore

    The biggest problem is windows defender hogging all of the cpu amd hdd on low end computers. With no way to disable it. (Gpo/regedit for the win!)

    this is a good sign for win def, though, it means it's getting more potent and active.

    Having windows on a computer basically means you're willing to part with a good portion of the resources to an anti-virus. you can't afford to run without one.

    I use windows and I haven't run antivirus in 5 years. The two times I had problems it were both because I was stupid and easily fixable.

    well you had problems two times.

    for some people that's not an option.

    Windows Defender includes Microsoft Security Essentials in Windows 8 and I think 10 as well

    Antivirus wouldn't have helped at all, and the people who don't have that option would know not to do what I did.

    For a techie all about squeezing performance out of a C2Q with a PCIe 1.1 card and 4GB of RAM, microsoft's AV can go bother somebody else. It doesn't even tickle my i7 with win 7, I think how it works in win 8+ is more resource intensive. I've had to disable it on laptops for people because of such a significant slowdown.

    My PC still just doesn't have the update to Windows 10 button.
    Checked it's up to date, and my version of Windows -is- legal/licensed/whatever

    I think it's only for certain editions.
