That's why there is a 6-billion dollar niche market for 35 companies or so who specialize in making anti-virus software that loads on top of Windows. Windows has NEVER had adequate built-in virus protection going all the way back to Win95 (20 years).
There are folks here on this forum and the others I volunteer on, who vigorously defend Windows defender (pun intended!) but for me it's crap. I have about 140 Customers running Avast that I installed and I have only a 1%-2% return on the mix of 2 products (Free & Internet Security) coming back. Malwarebytes is top-notch and I know Pauli and I have had excellent success with it. I have not yet tested their newest AV Premium 2015, but I suspect it will do very well too.
In my testing as an authorized Avast reseller, AV Free 2015 has a 98% effective rate, and the AV Internet Security is 99%. IMO, Windows Defender is the least capable program of defending your computer Avast is the #2 AV program in the world right after Norton, and there are multiple versions of it.
