"Great Defender that doesn't slow you down"

4.5/5

The only downside that I have found myself is that it doesn't give you that many notifications so you can sometimes forget that it is even there.

It has helped me fix a problem of having to have multiple anti-virus programs because it does eventing I need it too, this benefits me because if your running multiple anti-virus programs it slows your machines down alot and you have to keep up with them all with 365 I just have one program that I have to deal with Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
