- Can you articulate specific reasons to buy anything beyond the default windows defender?
- If anyone went to an actual war with the US, would the source of your antivirus software get even close to top 5000 things you care about at that point...
As for default Windows Defender, there isn't really good reporting tools related to it. There are reporting tools for Defender, but those are paid license add-ons.
And yeah there's a decent chance if the US went to war with another country it might not impact the majority of US businesses very directly especially in the short term IRT their IT plans. McDonald's kept selling burgers when we invaded Iraq (multiple times). Ford was still producing vehicles during WWII. There have been lots of military engagements the US has been involved in where things in the mainland US weren't massively affected in day to day operations. Who knows what some potential future war with Russia would look like. Would it be a true head to head war with tanks rolling, fighter jets scrambling, cities bombed? Would it be more skirmishes testing how far the other would really go? Would it just be escalation of supply chain attacks and attacks on infrastructure to weaken the other? Of course this greatly varies based on the specifics on what that potential future war looks like, it would be naïve to think wars will always look like WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, etc from a US mainland perspective.
The post above was saying "at all to go to war with the government of the country I live and work in." US going to war somewhere is one thing. Another country going to war with the US would be something different.
