Hello All

Available with my Office 365 Subscription is Microsoft Defender for Indivduals, for PC, Android, and Apple iOS devices---Would this be a Good idea to activate on my Android Phone, Windows 11 Desktop and Windows 10 Laptop?

Desktop clean installed November 26th
Laptop Clean Installed November 24th

Phone updated to One UI 6.0/Android 14, November 29th, could factory reset this device first if needed

Laptop and Desktop trying to solve SecondLife issue why the clean install, and still a bit of configuring to get done

Microsoft Defender for Individuals is just a simplified security dashboard that shows your various devices. I have it installed. I've looked at it occasionally. It apparently doesn't use any appreciable resources, so I leave it installed.
