[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 1114480, member: 32260"] [URL unfurl="false"]https://malwaretips.com/threads/the-best-home-av-protection-2021-2022.120387/[/URL] McAffee improves year by year. Last year it had better scorings than Defender. However, current tests can measure mainly 1-day-old malware, and many malware nowadays are 0-day ones. The real difference between the AV protection comes from 0-day malware (which is not well tested). Such AVs like Norton or Avast have the advantage of using file reputation (Download Insight) or cloud sandbox (CyberCapture). Such solutions are probably stronger against 0-day malware than code emulation in Microsoft Defender. [B]Microsoft Defender can compete with such solutions only with enabled SmartScreen.[/B] [/QUOTE]
