The team of experts at the AV-TEST laboratory carefully examined the utility of Windows Defender under realistic conditions. The data generated during the process was a representative image of the system performance, helping in a detailed comparison. Special attention was given to the events like ‘Slowing-down’ when launching popular websites, slower download of frequently-used programs, the launch of standard software programs, copying of files and more.
In addition to measuring protection and performance standards, the emphasis was also given to determine the problem-free use of the program. Windows Defender AV worked well for both, home and corporate environment and demonstrated capabilities of all its components perceptibly.
