Microsoft voli zbuniti svoje korisnike jer je većina ljudi saznala koristeći Windows 8 . Ne samo da je Windows 8 bio zbunjujući, nego Microsoft stalno mijenja način rada novog operativnog sustava sa svakim ažuriranjem.

Jedan od najzbunjujućih aspekata za Windows 7 i Windows 8 su antivirusna rješenja Microsofta^(Microsoft) . Trebate^(Should) li koristiti Windows Defender ili Microsoft Security Essentials ? Koja je razlika? Također što je Microsoft Safety Scanner i zašto se razlikuje od drugih antivirusnih alata?

U ovom članku objasnit ću razlike između različitih antivirusnih alata u sustavima Windows 7^{(Windows 7)} i Windows 8 i gdje možete koristiti svaki alat. Srećom, stvari su jasnije u sustavu Windows 10^{(Windows 10)} .

Windows Defender vs Security Essentials

Windows Defender je izvorno bio poznat kao Microsoft AntiSpyware i na kraju je uključen u Windows Vista i Windows 7 . Također možete preuzeti Windows Defender za Windows XP i Windows Server 2003 , iako se čini da sada više ne možete. Još uvijek možete preuzeti Windows Defender Offline , koji se razlikuje od Windows Defendera^{(Windows Defender)} , a u nastavku ću objasniti više.

Glavna stvar koju treba napomenuti o Windows Defenderu^{(Windows Defender)} je da štiti samo od špijunskog softvera u sustavu Windows 7^{(Windows 7)} i starijim. Zato ste uvijek trebali drugi zasebni antivirusni program u sustavu Windows 7^{(Windows 7)} i starijim. Microsoft Security Essentials mogao bi se preuzeti kako bi zamijenio Windows Defender jer bi mogao uhvatiti špijunski softver i skenirati viruse. Jednom instaliran, potpuno bi onemogućio Windows Defender .

Windows Defender Offline je u osnovi upravo ono što ime sugerira: izvanmrežna verzija Windows Defendera^{(Windows Defender)} koju preuzimate i pokrećete s CD-a, DVD- a ili USB pogona. Možete koristiti Windows Defender Offline za skeniranje virusa prije nego što se operativni sustav pokrene, što može uvelike povećati vaše šanse za uklanjanje vrlo skrivenog zlonamjernog ili špijunskog softvera. Opet^(Again) , neće hvatati viruse, samo špijunski softver.

U sustavima Windows 8^{(Windows 8)} i Windows 10 , Windows Defender je nadograđen kako bi također mogao skenirati viruse. Prilično je isti skener kao onaj u Microsoft Security Essentialsu^{(Microsoft Security Essentials)} i to je razlog zašto vam Microsoft ne dopušta instaliranje Security Essentialsa^{(Security Essentials)} na Windows 8/10 . Također koristi iste definicije virusa, a korisničko sučelje je gotovo potpuno isto.

Možda bi imalo više smisla samo zadržati naziv Microsoft Security Essentials u Windows 8/10 , ali odlučili su ostati s imenom Windows Defender , što uzrokuje određenu zbrku.

Dakle, evo trenutnog stanja Windows Defendera:^{(So here’s the current state of Windows Defender:)}

– Dolazi ugrađen u sustave Windows Vista^{(Windows Vista)} i Windows 7 i štiti samo od špijunskog softvera. Može se koristiti s Microsoft Security Essentials .

– Dolazi ugrađen u sustave Windows 8^{(Windows 8)} i 10, ali uključuje skener virusa. Ne može se koristiti s Microsoft Security Essentials .

– U sustavu Windows XP^{(Windows XP)} možete koristiti Microsoft Security Essentials jer Window Defender više nije dostupan.

– Windows Defender Offline može se koristiti na bilo kojoj verziji sustava Windows sve do Windows 10

Microsoftov sigurnosni skener

Microsoftov sigurnosni skener još je jedan ^{(Microsoft Safety Scanner)}Microsoftov^(Microsoft) antivirusni alat koji je sličan Windows Defenderu Offline^{(Windows Defender Offline)} po tome što je samostalni skener virusa i zlonamjernog softvera. To je u osnovi skener na zahtjev koji možete pokušati upotrijebiti kao posljednje sredstvo ako je virus onemogućio ili ometa vaš trenutni antivirusni program.

Za razliku od izvanmrežnog Windows Defendera^{(Windows Defender Offline)} , i dalje pokrećete Microsoft Safety Scanner unutar Windowsa^(Windows) umjesto da koristite medij za pokretanje. Možete jednostavno preuzeti EXE datoteku koja sadrži najnovije potpise i pokrenuti je. Budući da se radi o skeneru na zahtjev, uvijek biste trebali ponovno preuzeti program svaki put kada ga želite koristiti, inače nećete skenirati s najnovijim virusnim potpisima. Datoteke se ažuriraju više puta dnevno s najnovijim potpisima.

Stoga se nadamo da to ima smisla za neke od sigurnosnih alata koje nudi Microsoft . Postoje i drugi alati, ali su rjeđi i nećemo ih spominjati u ovom postu. Windows Defender , Security Essentials i Safety Scanner glavni su alati koje možete koristiti za uklanjanje virusa i zlonamjernog softvera u sustavima Windows XP^{(Windows XP)} , Vista , 7, 8 i 10. Uživajte!

Windows Defender vs. Security Essentials vs Safety Scanner

Microsoft loves to confuse their users as most people have found оut using Windows 8. Not only was Windows 8 confusing, bυt Microsoft keeps changing how the new operating system works with every update.

One of the most confusing aspects to Windows 7 and Windows 8 is the anti-virus solutions provided by Microsoft. Should you use Windows Defender or Microsoft Security Essentials? What’s the difference? Also what is Microsoft Safety Scanner and why is that different from the other tool anti-virus tools?

In this article, I’ll explain the differences between the different anti-virus tools in Windows 7 and Windows 8 and where you can use each tool. Thankfully, things are clearer in Windows 10.

Windows Defender vs Security Essentials

Windows Defender was originally known as Microsoft AntiSpyware and was eventually included with Windows Vista and Windows 7. You could also download Windows Defender for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, though it seems that now you can’t anymore. You can still download Windows Defender Offline, which is different than Windows Defender and I’ll explain more below.

The main thing to note about Windows Defender is that it only protects against spyware in Windows 7 and below. That’s why you always needed another separate anti-virus program in Windows 7 and earlier. Microsoft Security Essentials could be downloaded to replace Windows Defender since it could catch spyware and scan for viruses. Once installed, it would disable Windows Defender altogether.

Windows Defender Offline is basically exactly what the name suggests: an offline version of Windows Defender that you download and run off a CD, DVD or USB drive. You can use Windows Defender Offline to scan for viruses before the operating system boots up, which can greatly help your chances of removing a very sneaky piece of malware or spyware. Again, it won’t catch viruses, just spyware.

In Windows 8 and Windows 10, Windows Defender was upgraded to be able to do virus scans also. It pretty much is the same scanner as the one in Microsoft Security Essentials and that is the reason why Microsoft does not allow you to install Security Essentials on Windows 8/10. It also uses the same virus definitions and the user interface is pretty much exactly the same.

It might have made more sense to just keep the name Microsoft Security Essentials in Windows 8/10, but they decided to stay with the Windows Defender name, which causes some of the confusion.

So here’s the current state of Windows Defender:

– Comes built-in with Windows Vista and Windows 7 and only protects against spyware. Can be used with Microsoft Security Essentials.

– Comes built-in with Windows 8 and 10, but includes a virus scanner. Cannot be used with Microsoft Security Essentials.

– On Windows XP, you can use Microsoft Security Essentials as Window Defender is no longer available.

– Windows Defender Offline can be used on any version of Windows all the way up to Windows 10

Microsoft Safety Scanner

Microsoft Safety Scanner is another anti-virus tool from Microsoft that is similar to Windows Defender Offline in that it is a standalone virus and malware scanner. It’s basically an on-demand scanner that you can try to use as a last resort if the virus has disabled or interfering with your current antivirus program.

Unlike Windows Defender Offline, you still run Microsoft Safety Scanner inside of Windows rather than using boot media. You can simply download the EXE file which contains the latest signatures and run it. Since it’s an on-demand scanner, you should always re-download the program every time you want to use it otherwise you won’t be scanning with the latest virus signatures. The files are updated multiple times a day with the latest signatures.

So hopefully that makes sense of some of the security tools provided by Microsoft. There are also other tools, but they are less common and we won’t mention them in this post. Windows Defender, Security Essentials and Safety Scanner are the main tools you can use for removing viruses and malware in Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 10. Enjoy!
