Microsoft enables Tamper Protection for Home Users

[Jimmy9190]

MS has updated Windows Security to now include their Tamper Protection for both Home and Enterprise accounts. Right now for home use it is only available for 1903, but MS has said they are working on availability for older Windows versions. This is a good tool to help fight off the bad guys. Lately there has been a lot of malware trying to specifically target and bypass Windows Security/MS Defender. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/ne...windows-10-tamper-protection-by-default/ https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-defender-tamper-protection-reaches-general-availability/

Thanks for the heads up. When I update to 1903 (I have my copy of Windows set to delay non-security updates)--or when MS makes it available to more version of W10--I'll enable that. Sounds good.

Wouldn't it just be easier if Billy Gates would just close all those back doors he built in the system?

Well Billy hasn't been involved with MS for a very long time. Plus nothing is foolproof because fools are so ingenious.
