[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 92963, post: 958675"] Hi [USER=32260]@Andy Ful[/USER] thanks It has been some time ago when I talked to a Microsoft Engineer ([URL='https://malwaretips.com/threads/consumer-real-world-protection-test-july-august-2021-%E2%80%93-factsheet.109996/#post-957910']link[/URL]), but I think you are overlooking the added value of the intelligence updates. Looking at the frequency of updates of Microsoft, they seem to update roughly every two hours. (source: https://https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/definitions/antimalware-definition-release-notes?requestVersion=1.349.1271.0). When people have set Configure Defender to HIGH or MAX, they also receive the intelligence updates from the threat response. As far as I understood, these are the fingerprints for the latest emerging threats. When you look at the category of the intelligence updates they are nearly always classified as severe. The intelligence update feature were developed for the corporate environment as early threat response. The use case of receiving the intelligence updates for the latest (severe) threats was for mobile employees having on and off internet connection. This could also be beneficial for people meeting at public places meeting friends and exchanging data via USB. So while I agree that the home laptop users is a different use case scenario than the mobile corporate worker, why would Microsoft bring threat response to home users, when there would not be any benefit? These 'trickle' updates are not used when AV's are tested for their offline malware protection (e.g. the malware protection test of AV-Comparatives). Microsoft Defender has the third worst offline detection (after Trend Micro and Panda), but as stated this is without the intelligence updates. Regards Kees From this commandlet I think the following should be considered: SignatureDisableUpdateOnStartupWithoutEngine SignatureScheduleDay SignatureUpdateInterval [/QUOTE]
