📎 AI Summary:
The thread focuses on whether Windows Defender in Windows Vista/7 can, by itself, protect Internet Explorer 9 from browser hijackers. The main questions revolve around Defender’s effectiveness compared to other protections (given the user’s hardened setup with UAC, firewall, DEP, and no other active security tools), and what scenarios it would or wouldn’t cover. Overall sentiment is cautiously optimistic—users discuss Defender’s capabilities but imply it may not be sufficient alone for all hijacker types.

Ive heard windows defender in vista & 7 is fairly spectacular, so i was wondering if it will protect ie9 against browser hijackers by itself?
Right now im running a 7 64 under SUA, UAC is on max, 7 firewall, DEP for all, and Defender is my only active protection......its allmost like streaking:angel_smile:
