    If you look in my signature below you will notice a Windows 10 version of the kit. New defender cabs are scheduled to be released later today, though don't know when as I will be going out to my mum's later.

    Excellent :)

    I must say, at least MS Defender is not like Kaspersky. I used it once, and when I uninstalled it, I discovered that it had created very huge files inside the "System Volume Information" folder in every Hard Drive.
    Wow, I was very upset, that I moved away my stuff, and formatted the drives. I didn't think an antivirus would behave worse that a virus.

    I've used AVG free years ago, but never used Kaspersky. MS Defender is good enough for me, and I like updating weekly cabs that are used to integrate into offline Windows 10 and 11 images.
