Windows Security is a highly capable system guardian. In my "Best Antivirus for Windows 11" guide, I made the case that it isn't just a basic antivirus designed to be a stopgap; it's a full-blown first-party security suite that monitors downloads, blocks incoming threats, and instantly quarantines malware if it manages to bypass all defenses.
