ConfigureDefender is a lightweight program for Windows designed to customize and enhance the settings of Microsoft Defender Antivirus. Users can apply various protection levels to filter downloads and receive important alerts.
Configuration
There is a clear interface for modifying core Defender components such as real-time protection, sample submission and automatic scanning. These options are fully exposed here on main pages for easy adjustment. There are three predefined profiles, default, high and max, each one providing already-customized settings.
Moreover, the application allows you to toggle and manage ASR rules, which block potentially harmful behaviors. For example, you prevent executable files running from email or scripts launched by Office services.
Tampler
The dashboard shows the current state of tamper protection, a security measure against unauthorized changes to Defender setting. In other words, you can make sure only you have control over the software and are allowed to change its parameters. However, it is worth noting that the installer package itself contains a well-known trojan file which may track or compromise your personal data.
