Windows is the target of malware writers because it commands more than 90% of the desktop PC market. Microsoft has done an excellent job of locking it down, reducing the attack surface - the total amount of attack vectors, or opportunities - and responding quickly to serious security breaches. It's not that Windows is especially prone to viruses or that Windows is an unsecured operating system. Without question, Windows users have always needed an application to protect against computer viruses, spyware, and other types of malware. Otherwise, without a recognized antivirus program, Windows Defender steps up and assumes the role of primary security application. If you have an antivirus product installed, Windows Defender switches to standby mode while your primary tool gets the job done. Avast works closely with Microsoft as a top partner in the Microsoft Virus Initiative (MVI), with both companies collaborating to test each other’s anti-malware tools. Historically, Microsoft has offered Defender as a backup to full-suite security products like Avast One.
