Is that actually true? Does Windows check every file with Defender before deleting it?

Not just every file deleted, every file written to disk as well (downloaded, extracted from an archive, whatever).

It's also how most AV software works, except Defender is slow AF.

Huh. All that security, and yet there are still so many viruses capable of infecting windows.

Huh.... all that immune system yet there are still so many viruses capable of infecting humans.

Humans are easy targets ๐Ÿ˜... we've lived semi-isolated from nature at least the last few hundred years.
