Assalamualaikum.
How are you all, hopefully we are all always in the protection of Allah SWT. And my best regards to @siz-official, @suboohi and @cryptokraze. So at this meeting I want to discuss about how to activate Windows Defender on laptops and computers. Keep up with the following reviews.
Windows defender is a piece of software that serves to provide protection from malware. Since windows 8, windows defender is part of the operating system. This software is useful for identifying and removing viruses, spyware and other malicious software.
On Windows 8 to 11 you only need to activate windows defender without needing to install. This is because it has become part of the operating system. Here are the steps to activate Windows Defender.
1. The following is a sign that Windows Defender is active, namely a white shield and when the mouse is pointed at the icon a PC status message (protected) will appear.
2. The following is how to open windows defender, by typing "Defender" in the search field and then selecting Windows Defender.
3. The following is the initial view of Windows Defender which has been activated. You should also make sure that it says PC status: protected at the top and a white check mark on a green background. This indicates that no problems were found by Windows Defender. If Windows Defender finds a malicious program such as a virus or a feature that is not recommended, such as the inactive Real-time Protection, the background of the check mark will be yellow or red and display a message.
You can scan for viruses, spyware and malware by clicking scan. Make sure Real Time Protection reads ON, this right serves to protect the computer from malicious software in Real Time.
4. Windows defender default setting regarding database update is automatic. We can also update the database manually by clicking ubdate on the ubdate tab.
5. The following is the history tab which contains the history of windows defender action data on the findings of viruses, spyware and malware. In this tab you can see programs such as the one below.
6. The following are the settings to enable or disable Windows Defender by ticking the turn on real time protection recommended setting.
7. The following settings to exclude files or folders from the scan process by windows defender. These exceptions can speed up the scanning process but increase the vulnerability of your computer to virus, spyware or malware attacks.
8. The following are settings to exclude certain files from the scan process by Windows Defender. These exceptions can speed up the scanning process but increase your computer's vulnerability to viruses, spyware and malware.
9. Following are the settings to exclude certain processes from being scanned by windows defender. These exceptions can speed up the scanning process but increase your computer's vulnerability to viruses, spyware and malware.
10. Following are the advanced settings for windows defender, such as:
scan archive files
scan removable drives such as flash drives
create restore points before deleting, running or quarantine findings from Windows Firewall
remove findings from Windows Defender that have been quarantined after some time, according to settings
Send the findings to Microsoft if further analysis is needed regarding the findings of Windows Defender to determine that the file is harmful to your computer.
11. Following are the settings for using Microsoft Active Protection Service (MAPS) which functions to automatically report malware or other malicious software to Microsoft. You can choose not to activate this setting, send basic information or complete information.
12. The last setting is to determine whether Windows Defender will notify you when spyware or other malicious software tries to run a process or install something malicious on the computer.
Okay. So, what do you think, it's easy, right? So my advice for all computer users is to understand more wisely, yes, because in our current life there are many computer viruses that are very dangerous, especially when we access social media.
So, until here, first the discussion about how to activate Windows Defender, hopefully this is useful and thank you.
