Situatie
On Windows 10, Microsoft Defender Antivirus is the default anti-malware solution to protect your device and data against all sorts of threats, including viruses, spyware, ransomware, rootkits, and other types of malware and hackers. Although the antivirus offers a robust real-time protection at the level of most sophisticated anti-malware solutions, sometimes, it can detect some files and applications as threats when you know they are not. However, if this ever happens, the default protection built into Windows 10 includes an option to review and allow the file or application on your device.
