About

ConfigureDefender is a small utility for configuring Windows 10/11 (and Windows Server) built-in Defender Anti-Virus settings. It is a part of the Hard_Configurator project (including source files), but it can be used as a standalone application (portable).

Coverage is best-effort and depends on a winget package mapping to an NVD CPE entry. Absence here is not a guarantee of safety.
