Review: Windows Security

F

or years, the attitude towards Windows 10’s built-

in security was that it’s a nice idea, but you really

shouldn’t rely on it. That stared changing in 2019,

with the major testing houses giving Windows Security

top marks. Could it be true? Can you really ditch your

annual antivirus subscription and rely on Microsoft’s

native solution instead? Here’s our opinion.

Windows Security is a very basic utility. In a way, it

doesn’t need to be fancy, since it’s part of Windows

itself. If you need extras like backups or hard drive

cleaning, you can find that in other parts of the

operating system.
