Windows Defender comes as a native security solution with the Windows 10 operating system and is pre-installed on all versions of the operating system.
Windows Defender offers 100% protection in both the March - April tests against 0day malware attacks and the new samples discovered in the last 4 weeks, discovering new threats with a success rate of 99,3% up to 100%.
Microsoft antivirus did not cause false warnings as it did not accidentally block web pages. According to AV-TEST, it made a mistake by detecting an innocent application like malware while scanning the system. However, according to the company the average in its tests is 3 such warnings.
Windows Defender did not give false positive messages when installing or using innocent software.
