@Shadowra so is Microsoft too slow to add these, or are they just missing them altogether?

It seems to me that @SeriousHoax had explained in a post but I don't know where. It seems to me that they are having problems with artificially pumped malware

I believe it's this one How I got infected last time thread

Assuming @Anthony Qian is right, which is usually true, then F-Secure will work for this. I would assume they’d also be covered by the Avira signatures, but just a guess.

@Shadowra Great test as always. I may be slightly off-topic here but I wonder how Malwarebytes would have performed in this test. They claim to have multiple layers of protection integrated in the paid version.

 

[Like a Western!]

Why do you say that?

pretty much this

I’m assuming because the lack of version updates and there hasn’t been much talk in the discussion forums by the representative.

I do wonder if they still plan to release the paid version

I was wondering as well.

Malware not blocked but C&C server blocked.

Its quite scary to think there are millions of people who rely soley on Malwarebytes, not knowing it provides sub-par protection due to not having an behavior blocker and targeting scripts.

@Shadowra Can you check F-Secure?

Everyone succeeded except Microsoft Defender

And things may get worse for Defender as recent malware have specifically been targeting it.

We may be entering a new era of everybody running 3rd party AVs again. Or Microsoft will make serious improvements.

Btw, what about Norton? Could it protect against this specific sample?

How am I gonna tell you...

Thanks @Shadowra por this great video

Thanks @Shadowra por this great video

I see, I thought it was a different sample that @Shadowra tested, I was curious to see that if your infection was a rule or a exception in how Norton deals with Redline Stealer malware family.

Did you move on to another antivirus solution? Maybe Kaspersky?
