Microsoft launches Windows Defender on MacOS

If you've been using a Windows computer in the past few years, you may have noticed a Microsoft program called Windows Defender. This is an anti-virus program available on Windows only computers, but not anymore. In fact, Microsoft recently added Windows Defender to MacOS and also decided to change its name to Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection.

Microsoft has developed a special version of the program specifically for MacOS, which provides full virus detection and threat protection. This is in addition to a feature that allows for quick analyzes. In addition, this program also provides other features that protect users from various threats.

At first, a limited preview will be available for businesses so you can test the virus protection provided by this program on Windows and Mac devices. Microsoft will rely on AutoUpdate to ensure that Microsoft Defender Advanced threat protection is always up-to-date on MacOS. This antivirus software is compatible with MacOS Mojave, MacOS High Sierra and MacOS Sierra.

Microsoft seems to want to introduce this anti-virus program to corporate customers just now. She never told us when she would launch this program for ordinary consumers. At least this did not completely rule out this possibility.
