Powerful!

The Microsoft defender security has been stopping all the riffraff and fraudulent websites. Get the app for yourself. It works! 💯

Drains my battery

Every now and then it kills my battery which I notice by my phone being warm.

Annoying not being able to ignore AI related iOS updates

Getting extremely annoyed at alerts to update to an ‘optional’ iOS update. At most you would expect ability to select ‘ignore this advisory’ or ability to define ‘optional updates’. It is OK not to want optional updates. Please recognise your customers right to decide & enable ability to not only delay but also IGNORE updates. Security is still available on other update options.

Making app load slow

The speed of surfing and accessing application become slow

Totally invasive

Needs web connection, complains all the time. Uninstalling.

HELP

Help Me please..The VPN feature, which was disconnected last year, still appears in the interface of my Microsoft Defender account app, despite no longer being functional. To resolve this, I had to completely delete the app from my device.

Inappropriate

! Apple decides when their IOS updates are made. I am using their current version.

Seems to be doing the job nicely.0

Easy to use and works well.

But I was turning on when I’m not active with that to keep my browser protected by a phone protectiv

I can not have this on my because Benjamin doesn’t support The VNpbrowser

Great app but clunky

Great app but should be easier to turn the web protection back on after using a vpn instead of having to push 4 or 5 buttons each time.

It sucks

Don’t know who made it suck, but they should fix it.

Still trying to figure it all out

I’m happy to have Microsoft Defender. It lets me know when security issues might arise. However, I still have a few kinks to work out.

Doesn’t work for iPhone/iPad

Constant “Something went wrong” error so unable to see notifications on iOS devices. VPN works, but slows down phone.

Better than the rest

So you download these expensive antivirus programs when you buy an MS computer or laptop, which is guaranteed to slow your computer down. Windows comes with the best antivirus software, which works seamlessly with your computer and stays 100% up to date at all times.

Tolle Software

我真服了,怎么还说此站点无法正常工作?问题不在于你,在于我们?

Defender of the faith

States I’m Offline

Will turn off because it indicates I’m offline. Currently staying I need to connect to the Internet and even though I’m online it won’t work.

Something went wrong

Keep getting the something went wrong. Can’t show notifications and history since the update yesterday. Happens on my iPad and iPhone
