Microsoft Defender
2025

5 wooden manesse-shields
Wood, Paper, Leather straps, nails

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 - 5 defense options are created, these can be carried and used (I don't know where and when, but it would be possible).

There is no suitable weapon for this, as it is not provided in the operating systems for home users. It shows 5 shield icons which can be found in the imageres.dll-File in Microsoft Windows 7 systems and and show functions such as allowing/denying connections into and out of the system, or the anti-virus status (the built-in protection, Microsoft Defender, is completely sufficient - you don't need to buy Kaspersky or similar).
