Disable Windows Defender on Windows 10 -

Windows Defender is the antivirus and antimalware that we find by default on Windows PCs (Windows 10 included) and which should protect us from viruses and potentially harmful files that we encounter while browsing the internet. The conditional is a must because several tests and studies have shown that Windows Defender is not always effective in this prevention and often sees files that are not dangerous as dangerous (false positives). To this "limit" must then be added the problem of high disk and CPU use often attributable to Windows Defender. This is why more and more users are asking “But is Windows Defender really useful? Or is it better to use another Antivirus for Windows 10? ". The answer is that it often pays to replace Windows Defender with another antivirus to avoid all the problems described above.
