  1. I completely agree, though if you have to install something that asked you to temporarily turn off Defender, do so, then turn it back on, as soon as your done. I'm looking at you Adobe with CS4. Around, oh, 2013, 14? I forget, had to reinstall Adobe Master Suite for some reason and forgot to turn on Defender, and not long after that, I got a screen full of pop ups, and they kept coming, and coming, and coming, had to save files etc, then wipe and reinstall Windows (this was Vista), Again, began to install software, got to Adobe, and again, had to turn off Defender, install, but forgot to turn back on Defender. The same issue reappeared. Got infected, yet again, and I believe the registry was infected and Windows got gorked, yet again. After that second time, I DID remember to turn Defender back on after Adobe was installed and the issue never reared its ugly head again. The other day, I think it was Thanksgiving evening, my internet was unusually slow, running at best 20mbps, when it normally runs 180-195mbps, but the next morning, it was back to normal. This is why I keep a speed test active so I can periodically check my internet speed, and most days, I run well over 100mbps, often close to 200mbps, if not a tad above even that. I do have an issue, but suspect my graphics card, now 7 years old, and with 2GB of memory on board, computer has 32GB, and is a 7th gen Core i5 processor and I think the graphics card may be throttling as it sometimes when I go to another tab that is not YT related, and come back to YT, it stutters for a few before catching up, and occasionally it freezes all together. I know part of it is poor air circulation due to the card having to sit right next to the PSU with an itty bitty gap between the card and supply (SFF Dell Optiplex, planning on doing a full upgrade next year).
