[QUOTE="kC77, post: 981741, member: 92796"] Well thats a great idea for a test! brb:D (i tested hardened as thats how i run on my production machine) one big advantage that 3rd party AV's have is that out of the box they have better default settings than defender and many more apps behaviour blockers etc. I like hardened defender as i dont actually want or need an antivirus, I like to control exactly what .exe can or cant run via SRP and defender to sit there silently just there as a warning.... should i get a hit, id lkeley restore from backup or rebuild.... but in my 20+ years online ive yet to actually get an infection (outside of a test VM) common sense, safe browsing, layered protection (security should be at the gateway level) use pihole/adblocking/secure DNS with malware protection/backup often/harden windows using SRP, store immutable backups, patch OS/apps/firmmwares/routers immediately and patch often the last thing and least important for me is endpoint AV. yes the AV is the LEAST important of all.... (prevention is better than needing a cure) anyway brb will give that test a go non hardened (i expect a fail) [/QUOTE]
