[QUOTE="Deleted member 178, post: 232920"] many people fails to understand that EVERY antiviruses are designed to backup and work WITH Windows own security mechanisms not replace them (unless purposely designed for), if AVs are supposed to replace a security mechanism as UAC; they will override it or disable it by default, as they do with Windows Firewall/Defender. if you let a malware pass UAC or Smartscreen by clicking "yes" knowing the file is unknown, you just defeated the whole purpose an AV was made for... so basically it is a user fault and responsibility not the AV. [B]Remember[/B] : AV are made to backup (not replace) YOU. "don't blame the police if you are a hot chick wandering in sexy bikini in a dangerous and infamous neighborhood and get raped." Sure, the analogy is quite hard but you get the idea. Just find a malware that bypass all Windows mechanisms without alerting the user by any way , then let see if the installed AV (properly configured) catch it, if No , then you have my full support to say "it failed" But if you were alerted, allowed it , get infected and still complain against your AV, then i will say : "It is YOUR fault , you damn fool , go get some skills and learn your damn place before opening your god damn mouth !" (this sentence above applies and was applied by me to some harsh users, i met; no one focused here :D ) thanks [/QUOTE]
