Windows Defender, part of the Windows Security suite of tools, is an antivirus Windows 10 app that comes pre-installed on Windows 10 computers. Its purpose is to protect your system from spyware, malware, and viruses.

Windows Defender runs in the background, monitoring your computer in real time and taking cleanup actions when it finds security issues. It updates virus definitions regularly to protect your computer.

For users who want more control over updates, Windows Defender offers the ability to customize options, such as temporarily disabling real-time protection or adding processes, files or folders.
