[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 89360, post: 911636"] On my tests it happens sometimes that MDA detects more malware than paid solutions. When I did the Norton test, Defender actually cleaned up Norton’s mess. Its removal capabilities were always great, from the very beginning MSE was cleaning up malware with all of its components like registry keys, folders, shortcuts, etc. Eset’s removal for example is not anywhere nearly as thorough. Given that the EMET toolkit is now also integrated + core isolation, controlled folder access, Windows Firewall and SmartScreen, users might be better off not downloading anything, rather than getting a bad (to call it politely) AV. MDA’s got a bit more fps, but you can restore from the quarantine and exclude. Performance impact I’ve observed is not great, with Defender service going up to 35-40% during normal tasks like software installation or launch... this is something that needs to be worked on.
