Today I run Windows 10 Creators Update. One of the first articles that are listed in Microsoft Edge is the supposedly 'a must' ScanGuard installation - to protect your PC.
I am not sure if this is the first time I hear or read about ScanGuard antivirus, so I did a quick search.
Surprise, surprise!
About a year ago, many people threw all kinds of negative comments on this product, many veered away without even touching it, and many to tried it anyway, ended up uninstalling it. Reason? Creates thousands of false positive alarms!
It was not a good antivirus product and the company who made it, well, is new. Not yet established in the playing field.
What's the suggestion then? Use Microsoft Security Essentials, or Windows Defender. Or Malwarebytes. Even the free version of MBAM will do. Personally, I use Malwarebytes, and I'm sticking with it. And long years before, I did use Windows Defender and was contented with it.
So why would Windows endorse such a kind of product? I wouldn't know.
But for now, I will be waiting and on the lookout for fresh developments. One year and there should be much progress, who knows?
I guess those who have anything to say, well, all are welcome to leave their comments here, thank you!
Till then!
