Windows included Windows Defender Antivirus, a robust inbox antimalware solution, starting with Windows 8, when it was called Windows Defender. With Windows 10, Microsoft significantly improved Windows Defender Antivirus. Windows Defender Antivirus in Windows 10 uses a multi-pronged approach to improve antimalware:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Cloud-delivered protection** helps detect and block new malware within seconds, even if the malware has never been seen before. The service uses distributed resources and machine learning to deliver protection to endpoints at a rate that is far faster than traditional signature updates.

- **Cloud-delivered protection** helps detect and block new malware within seconds, even if the malware has never been seen before. The service, available as of Windows 10, version 1703, uses distributed resources and machine learning to deliver protection to endpoints at a rate that is far faster than traditional signature updates.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Rich local context** improves how malware is identified. Windows 10 informs Windows Defender Antivirus not only about content like files and processes but also where the content came from, where it has been stored, and more. The information about source and history enables Windows Defender Antivirus to apply different levels of scrutiny to different content.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Extensive global sensors** help keep Windows Defender Antivirus current and aware of even the newest malware. This is accomplished in two ways: by collecting the rich local context data from end points and by centrally analyzing that data. The goal is to identify new, emerging malware and block it in the first critical hours of its lifetime to limit exposure to the broader PC ecosystem.

|

|
||||
- **Tamper proofing** helps guard Windows Defender Antivirus itself against malware attacks. For example, Windows Defender Antivirus uses Protected Processes, which prevents untrusted processes from attempting to tamper with Windows Defender Antivirus components, its registry keys, and so on. ([Protected Processes](#protected-processes) is described later in this topic.)
