Windows Defender is a built-in antivirus program in Windows operating systems that provides real-time protection against malware, spyware, and other potentially unwanted software. It scans files, monitors system activities, and offers tools to remove detected threats to ensure the security and integrity of the system.
About Windows Defender
Windows Defender was first released by Microsoft in 2006 as an anti-spyware program. It evolved from a previous product called GIANT AntiSpyware, which Microsoft had acquired in 2004. Over time, it expanded its capabilities to include full antivirus protection and became an integral part of the Windows operating system, starting with Windows Vista and later versions.
