How Microsoft Defender Works

Microsoft Defender uses advanced algorithms and heuristics to detect and neutralise various cyber threats. A series of independent third-party tests have consistently shown that Microsoft Defender delivers excellent defense against viruses, malware, and other cyber threats. As a result, it has earned high scores in multiple categories such as protection, performance, and usability, here’s how it works:

Scanning, The system constantly scans for potential threats in files, emails, and other resources. Threat recognition, Microsoft Defender utilises advanced algorithms, machine learning, and cloud-based intelligence to identify and block threats. Sandboxing, Suspicious files are isolated and scrutinised to prevent infections or damages to your system. Remediation, Identified threats are either quarantined or removed to keep your digital environment safe.

Compatibility and Device Optimisation

Microsoft Defender offers broad compatibility with different devices and web browsers for enhanced user experience. Microsoft Defender cross compatibility means it is available for Windows, macOS, and mobile devices (iOS and Android). Its web browser support means the software features flawless compatibility with popular browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. And the device optimisation insures software runs smoothly on a wide range of devices, from low-end systems to high-performance workstations.
