Microsoft Defender Reviews

What are you supposed to do with their data breach info?

Warwlf on

United States

It’s really not clear how to handle a data breach they’ve found. If you use the VPN be warned you could look suspicious when banking and buying at the other end of the connection and get flagged/ kind of opposite what having Dender is supposed to do. For you it supposed to warn you that someone is suspicious but not make you suspicious.

Please fix

I can’t connect to WiFi

An Impressive Privacy and Security Suite

I’m very impressed with Microsoft Defender’s broad spectrum of privacy and security tools. The integrated VPN feature is especially appreciated in that it replaces the need to pay for a standalone VPN solution. How Defender compares to to other VPNs is beyond the scope of this review. One star removed because, although Defender VPN will automatically activate if it was turned off when connecting to a public WiFi, there’s no setting to automatically turn it off when on a trusted network like work or home. And it WILL interfere if On when you try using some apps such as banking apps at home or work.

Mostly Positive

Great app with the exception of the VPN. I cannot turn it on and expect to have any kind of decent network speed. It drops the bandwidth by 90%, and I am not exaggerating.

Great App.

I am really enjoying having MS Defender. It’s a very solid program and their support is excellent. Kudos!!

Horrible customer support - unable to fix mistakes

Nick Hoffman on

United States

This is pertaining to the macOS version. MS Defender erroneously quarantined files used by Wine to run windows applications…. Support cannot tell me: 1- where the files were moved to (location of quarantine folder) 2- how to restore them

Useless.

Internet speed drops to AOL levels.VPN doesn't work at all completely shuts the internet off. Its so bad it only took 2hrs and I deleted it.

MS Defender to the rescue!
