I’m confused. I run Windows Defender, and ever since I updated from Internet Explorer to Microsoft Edge, it wants me to enable “App and Browser Control”. What is it, why should I enable it, and do you have it turned on for your PC, Dave?
I have a new Windows 11 computer that I share with my son. He tends to be quite curious about the Internet and I worry the system will end up being infected with malware. Worse, I fear ransomware attacks as it also contains lots of important work files. How can I protect my Win11 system from ransomware?
I want to have some sort of malware, anti-virus and anti-bad-Web-site protection when I’m running Windows. But I prefer Chrome to Edge. Is there a solution where I can use Windows Defender within Chrome to help keep me safe?
There’s a tiny shield icon on my Win10 TaskBar with an orange exclamation mark on it and when I hover over it the system says I’m due to run a “quick scan”. What’s this all about?
After what happened to my local school district’s computers, I’m terrified of getting hit with a ransomware attack. How can I defend myself in Windows 10?
My son told me that my Windows 10 computer is set up to automatically update the OS itself, but how do I update my apps and programs in Win10?
I was going through my Windows Defender configuration on my new Win10 laptop and came across SmartScreen. I don’t get it, is it related to the display settings? Should I enable it?
I am sick of third-party anti-virus programs that harass me about paying for upgrades and additional software. Done with that. But I can’t leave my Windows 10 PC unprotected. What’s your recommendation? Windows Defender??
