Microsoft Defender
Is the improved performance of Microsoft Defender a myth? Should we necessarily be using a 3rd party AV?

[QUOTE="ScandinavianFish, post: 968217, member: 93786"] I dont think Windows Defender is bad, but I dont trust these independent lab tests giving an product 100% or near 100% detection ratio, as if that was truly the case malware would not be an issue, and yet its an bigger issue than ever. Malware bypassing WD are very specific scenarios, its utilizing some kind of vulnerability, ive seen it happen to a couple of people ive helped clean their system, an malicious file in the exclusions or restoring/allowing itself upon detection, though it can be easily mitigated by keeping your system up to date and hardening your system by disabling unneeded features like Powershell, and Windows Defender has always had issues with powershell scripts. IMO, Windows Defender has the among the best post-execution protection, alongside Kaspersky. [/QUOTE]
