[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 998491, member: 7463"] I haven't seen anyone that was aware of this flaw in Defender- I certainly was not. There seems to be some issue in how Defender detects what are essentially the same malware, and I haven't seen anyone run 25 samples of a malware strain that varied by a trifling bit (or should I say byte) with any expectation that a non-trivial amount would lead to infection (~25% for me). Normally any testing that is done will be done on a wide range of unique samples which is useful and justified. [/QUOTE]
