ConfigureDefender

Looking for a simple way to take control of your Windows security settings? ConfigureDefender might be the free tool you need. Developed by AndyFul, this program falls into the system tuning and utilities category, and it’s designed specifically for tweaking and hardening the built in Windows Defender.

Unlike many complex security suites, ConfigureDefender provides a straightforward interface to adjust hidden or advanced Defender options that aren't easily accessible through the standard Windows Security app. This can be great for users who want stronger protection without installing third party antivirus software. You can manage things like cloud delivered protection, sample submission, and even tamper protection with just a few clicks.

The software was listed on Xkare on September 29th, 2023. It's compatible with Windows 10 and newer versions, and the latest available release is version 3.0.1.0. Keep in mind, it currently only supports the English language.
