Windows Defender Security Alert

This is the first time I've received this. I'm assuming privater networks is checked and public networks should be unchecked. However I do use Evernote frequently in public libraries.

Where do you think dangers are more imminent: At home where the router firewall is active, or at public networks where no device can be protected by network instances ?

Public networks are by far the more dangerous places, and they are one reason why device specific firewalls exist.

Ok, so it's just reminding me that I had this enabled.

Still using Windows Defender? Try Crowdstrike, it makes your computer completely impenetrable on public networks (and yours too) 😉

BTW: this is what happens to companies saving on quality assurance. Hopefully this is a wakeup call for other 'agile' developers 😉
