Microsoft Defender and for Android devices

Microsoft released one today προεπισκόπησης του λογισμικού προστασίας από ιούς για συσκευές με Android. Η revealed that Windows will launch for iOS and Android in early 2020, but he didn't give us more details about what to expect.

Of course since Defender will not run on Windows, it was named Microsoft Defender.

Public preview for Android includes phishing protection and will go one step further than Google's built-in malware protection to offer signature malware detection.

"Scans will immediately detect malware and potentially unwanted applications (PUAs)." he says Kanishka Srivastava, Senior Program Manager at Microsoft.

"If a secure application is downloaded, the end user will see a small notification informing them that the application is clean."

Microsoft software as mentioned above will have anti-phishing, so that unsafe websites sent via SMS, WhatsApp, email or other applications are instantly blocked. Microsoft will also use the of Defender SmartScreen to block unsecured network connections that might try to download malicious apps without the end user's knowledge.

Microsoft also plans to release an antivirus app for iOS devices, but we don't know when. From before, all of Apple's iOS apps run in a sandbox and prevent most users from downloading apps that aren't in the App Store.
