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

[QUOTE="Local Host, post: 968316"] Your logic makes no sense, users are protected by their habits, not their AVs. I run around with no AV and don't get infected, and you don't see me claiming there's no malware for Windows. Those who get infected, simply get infected, WD won't do nothing to protect them unless they facing an old and basic variant. While if you using something like Kaspersky, rest assured it will take care of the infection. Most malware is ready to tackle WD defenses since it's present on every Windows setup. Honestly if you want a good way to bypass WD, use a ZIP file, even a known variant like Zbot will show you how useless WD is. And as I already stated before, WD also has no defenses for browser hijackers, which is a common threat among Home users. [/QUOTE]
