[QUOTE="93803123, post: 838660"] People are starting to get too worked up about Windows security in this thread. Windows security deserves every bit of criticism that it gets. In fact, it deserves more criticism. There are some things about it that are defensible, but overall, it does poorly. It is easy enough to defend something when you have never tested it to determine its weaknesses. Downloading and executing malware on the desktop is one small sliver of testing. Most AVs will do reasonably, if not quite, well in this type of testing. It takes more sophisticated testing to reveal the chinks in the Windows armor. There is a lot of arm-chair defense of Windows 10 security. It makes me chuckle. You want to cling to the notion that Windows security will fully protect you in a bad case, then have at it. It's your system, not mine. A problem you created for yourself by making a bad choice to embrace the Microsoft glossy tabloid. [/QUOTE]
