[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 1105381, member: 32260"] This test was done in the year 2019 so the results are outdated. Anyway, it shows several techniques used by banking trojans on already infected systems. Defender free has insufficient features to protect against such techniques. AVLab did not test the Defender Enterprise version. The results in MRG Effitas tests are average (not best and not bad). It would be welcome if you could distinguish between Microsoft free on default settings and Microsoft Defender Enterprise. The banking protection of both products against banking trojans is very different. Also, making a distinction between home and enterprise users is important. As you can see most professional tests are done separately for home and enterprise users. True for Microsoft Defender free version when fighting the actions of banking malware that already infected the system. Many banking trojans are detected by Microsoft Defender free or SmartScreen just like other malware. In some way, all known by me banking tests can be questionable. I mean that the test results can be better than in reality. Nowadays, many malware are executed filelessly by Loaders, and this is not the way of execution used in tests. Let's agree on it. I can also add that any AV for home users cannot be sufficient, too. Now I understand your point about Microsoft Defender. :) I am afraid that the opposite is true, for example (the first two colums): [ATTACH type="full" width="570px" alt="1729508155950.png"]285876[/ATTACH] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.av-comparatives.org/tests/malware-protection-test-september-2024/[/URL] Microsoft has decent behavior-based detections (due to advanced Machine learning) via the cloud backend. It has also very good post-infection detection due to extensive telemetry and behavior monitoring. It has also one of the best protection against scripting and macros (based on AMSI). This can be seen in professional tests (SE Labs) and [USER=92939]@Shadowra[/USER] can probably confirm this from practice. [/QUOTE]
