I have no idea about anything Windows 10 (I run Linux Mint on my computer), but am posting this as a service for those who do run that OS.

I can’t activate it because Windows is busy installing updates. </snark>

Unfortunately, Windows is a massive malware with an OS.

Linux Mint is what I settled on too. I tried other distros but found I liked the look and stability of Mint best for what I use it for.
Thanks for the info on Win 10 though. I emailed it out to friends and family.

Agreed. Nice and simple OS and can be made as powerful as you'd like.
Have you ever looked at Sophos AV? Completely runs in the background, to include definition updates. And it's free for home use. (Note that by default it runs command line, but you can enable a GUI if you so choose)

To prepare for this and other advanced defenses you should enable Secure Boot and the TPM chip (if you have one) in the UEFI BIOS settings.
They are prereqs for a lot of these new security features.

It appears you have to use Microsoft’s Windows Defender in order to get protected folders. Correct me if i’m wrong.
