Windows Defender (version 1593)
Editors' rating
Very good
7.2
out of 10
- The good: Windows Defender is free, offers many advanced features, provides fast scans, is light on system resources, and includes two free technical support calls.
- The bad: Windows Defender requires you to verify your Windows license before you can even download the app. It missed half of the spyware on our test machine and didn't fully remove half of the spyware samples in our tests.
- The bottom line: Windows Defender is free and therefore should be a part of your desktop antispyware collection.
