Microsoft has announced more features will follow. The Windows Defender app will come in handy for those who want to protect family members and multiple devices in a simple dashboard. Microsoft Defender also includes security warnings and multi-device tips, although the tips are only available on Windows and macOS. You can review your existing antivirus protection from Norton, McAfee or other anti-virus software and manage and view security protections across devices. Microsoft Defender on Windows works more like a dashboard rather than trying to replace the built-in Windows security app. The app also scans links to provide protection against web phishing. On Android, Microsoft Defender includes antivirus protection and the ability to scan for malicious apps. For example, on iOS and iPadOS, there is no antivirus protection and instead the app offers some web phishing protections in addition to a dashboard with alerts for other devices. Microsoft Defender is available today for Microsoft 365 Personal and Family subscribers with different functionality for each platform. MS Defender functionality for Windows, macOS, iOS and Android

It’s now the default antispyware and antivirus tool in Windows. In Windows 8, Defender gained antivirus components, replacing Microsoft Security Essentials for Windows. It came pre-installed on Windows Vista and Windows 7 as the default antispyware tool. It was a pretty basic antispyware suite of tools, though Microsoft removed some of the tools from the first beta. This was technically the second beta of the tool, but the first one with the Defender name. Later in 2005, Microsoft AntiSpyware became Windows Defender. MS Defender was originally a rebranded version of a tool called Microsoft AntiSpyware, which was first available on Windows XP in 2005. While Microsoft has used the Defender name for its antivirus protection for years, this new cross-platform Microsoft Defender app is designed for individuals as more of a simplified dashboard that leverages existing antivirus software or provides additional device protection. Microsoft has launched a new Defender cybersecurity app for Windows, macOS, iOS and Android on 16th June 2022.
