[QUOTE="Azazel, post: 1067067, member: 101396"] it's unreasonable to scan every pdf file I download from the internet with Virustotal. They are shared and downloaded many times, for example hard configurator and cyberlock's user guides are in pdf. I ask if it is reasonable to use defender even hardened against all types of threats instead of using a free alternative like avast. If it is as competent as other avs and not too reliant on signatures, cloud and exclusive good detection of exes only. [/QUOTE]
