It does protect from USB and external drives. And as I've said, is a good antivirus covering most peoples needs.

I said before, Windows defender failed 2 times. It didn't deduct the virus.

" Microsoft themselves admit they offer little more than strong baseline protection (i.e. better than nothing)."

Then why you users are showing this much trust on the anti-virus which even it's maker doesn't shows.

Even experts and reviewers said, don't trust your PC on Defenders.

Stop, browsing dodgy sites in the first place, use Metro IE which is sandboxed and you'll be fine. Only used Defender since Windows 8 was released and no problems.

I switched my pcs over to 360 total security. Light weight, and u can install the bit defender engine. Running it a couple months now and really like it.
