Windows Security vs. Microsoft Defender: Whats the difference?

Summary

Nutrition label

66% Informative

Windows Security comes pre-installed on all PCs running Windows 11 or Windows 10 , as does Microsoft Defender .

Microsoft Defender is essentially part of Windows Security , but there are also extra features available in a separate app.

The Microsoft Defender app is available with a paid Microsoft 365 subscription, which starts at $ 69.99 /year.

The two complement each other well, and Defender offers extra features that would typically require a paid service. However, if you're not a Microsoft 365 subscriber, you might be better off using a third -party antivirus program. Back in the day , you absolutely needed an anti-virus. Is Microsoft Defender good enough now, though?.
