[QUOTE="kC77, post: 979594, member: 92796"] "overkill ultra max pro" lol i like it! Ive never actually had a virus, the school of common sense, (gateway IPS/adbock/pihole/os updates/firmware updates/Vlans/geoblocking firewall/immutable backups/common sense etc being the first) but purely out of boredom a few days ago I did grab f-secure safe, which then got me onto grabbing hundreds of samples to test.... F-secure missed a fair few samples, defender got a few of the stragglers, emsi a few & sophos a few more ... to clear out the folder of samples took 4 products/engines. been testing even more again today and 954 samples.... 72 were missed by F-secure, Defender then cleaned 32, emsi got 22 and sophos got the rest, just intrigued testing the capabilities of them. as for adding the scheduled tasks I was just testing commmandline usage of them all, and as yet there is no pop ups or noticeable slowdowns as background sig updates quick/scans run (lowest priority) - they all stagger x minutes after logon, then repeat every 2 hours, so none of them run at the same time. yep every 2 hours maybe overkill! ultra max overkill! if i notice any impacts ill adjust, or delete! :p for Free protection, MS defender is very capable!
