Question on Windows Defender, saw on a site that Windows Defender/MSE is baseline protection only now, read on another forum a while back--that if using Internet explorer use another Antivirus, so then I switched to Avast free 8.0.1489, but that possibly messes with Sleep mode in Windows 8 Pro 64bit, one day I set it for Monitor sleep in 10 minutes, PC to sleep in 45 minutes, come back next morning and PC is wide awake...did send in a support ticket with Avast as well, but haven't heard nothing yet
What I typically do on this PC is Game, listen to music, (streaming audio usually, or one of my bought albums, hardly get any music illegally anymore--as I learned that is not right to do)
Guess im mainly looking for if Windows Defender/MSE safe to use still or should I stick with Avast for all machines
I don't believe them that anyone using threads, at least meaningfully. It's the same thing for Facebook, people just don't engage with Meta platforms like they are thinking. This isn't 2006.
Same
Internet Archive seemed to grab the new version
https://web.archive.org/web/20...d/Setup_MakeMKV_v1.18.4.exe
Here's the link to an additional file it periodically downloads
https://web.archive.org/web/20260213092148/https://www.makemkv.com/sdf.bin
I think update's keys, etc. To manually trigger this update, put the sdf.bin file in the root of where the program is installed. When you launch the program it will pick up the file and import it. Typically put it here: C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV\sdf.bin
