Sandy is managing a Windows 7 computer. He needs to use security software to help protect the computer from viruses, spyware, and other security threats without additional cost. He wants to use a solution, which can provide real-time protection and post infection scanning and removal of threats from the computer.

Windows Defender should check for the updated definitions before scanning. A scan should be run only when the computer is idle to maintain the performance of computer. A protection should be applied on the system while files and attachments are being downloaded. Archive files, such as .zip or .cab, should be scanned. Email content or attachments should be scanned. The remaining settings of Windows Defender should remain unaltered. After configuring the preceding settings, the computer should be scanned and the result should be observed.
