Windows Defender Clause Samples
The Windows Defender clause establishes the requirement for the use or maintenance of Windows Defender, Microsoft's built-in antivirus and security software, on relevant computer systems. This clause typically mandates that all devices running Windows operating systems must have Windows Defender enabled and updated to ensure ongoing protection against malware and other security threats. By specifying this requirement, the clause helps maintain a baseline level of cybersecurity across an organization’s IT infrastructure, reducing the risk of security breaches and ensuring compliance with internal or external security standards.
Windows Defender. If turned on, Windows Defender will search your computer for many types of malicious software, including viruses, worms, bots, rootkits, “spyware”, “adware” and other potentially unwanted software. If you choose the “recommended” security settings when you first start using the software, such malware and other potentially unwanted software rated “high” or “severe” will automatically be removed. This removal may result in other software on your computer ceasing to work or your breaching a license to use that software. It is possible that software that is not unwanted may be removed or disabled. If you use Windows Defender and Windows Update, Windows Defender is regularly updated through Windows Update.
