5 wooden manesse-shields

To this day, digital protection mechanisms are symbolized by a shield, one of the oldest tools for defending mankind. A wooden shield to defend against digital attacks, viruses and worms. The work Microsoft Defender brings these symbols back into the analog world: five defense options are created that can be carried and used.

There is no suitable weapon for this, as it is not provided in the operating systems for home users. It shows five shield icons which can be found in the imageres.dll file in Microsoft Windows 7 systems and show functions such as allowing or denying connections into and out of the system, or the anti-virus status. The built-in protection, Microsoft Defender, is completely sufficient—you do not need to buy Kaspersky or similar.
