Media experts drew attention to the feature of Microsoft Defender, a built-in antivirus for Windows. It turns out that the security system can isolate a networked computer if it turns out to be hacked.

In this way, Microsoft Defender will help localize the problem and protect other devices on the network from downloading malware. It is stated that this option will be useful for technical experts of organizations.
