Avast internet security is one of the best security suites. But it is also very expensive with the problems of privacy. And with default settings it's weak. With these settings Q&A - Avast Premier 2018 v18.5.2342 - How to Configure for Max Protection and Efficiency is very strong the protection and combo with syshardener.

The test methodology disabled Avast CyberCapture feature, even if it was enabled in Avast. CyberCapture can work against the files downloaded from the Internet. If the file is suspicious then it is uploaded to Avast Cloud and the execution is blocked until the file analysis is finished.
The guy used 7-ZIP to unpack the malware so it lost MOTW, and was not recognized as downloaded from the Internet.
So, this video test cannot be treated as Hardened mode bypass. But, it shows that Avast protection can be weaker for files without MOTW.

Telemetry to avast servers.
I don’t understand, don’t most AVs send telemetry?
Even if not, what is the issue specific to Avast,almost all software sends telemetry these days . I don’t like the practice at all but it’s not an issue specific to AVs

avast sends a lot of telemetry. far more than other AV.

The download of the sample by internet will be done in the next videos precisely to see if there is a real change I had already thought about that

If I correctly recall, Avast Hardened mode worked only for EXE files, but this was a year or two ago. By the way, if you like malware testing, then maybe you could try to participate in Malware Hub tests?The download of the sample by internet will be done in the next videos precisely to see if there is a real change I had already thought about that

Other security suites are better than Avast and no have bloatware

You have proof of this you say?
Can you test Kaspersky trusted applications mode?
