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

[QUOTE="Local Host, post: 968789"] Thankfully we don't need to go far to find evidence of my claims, MT own MalwareHub has all the evidence everyone needs on how WD protection is bypassed even with High Security settings. Claiming Windows Defender is flawless is ridiculous at best, even Kaspersky that I talk so much about has it's fair share of problems (the fact it installs bloatware like Password Manager, VPN by default is ridiculous, not to mention the HTTPs certificate). Honestly if there was an AV I would use on me PC, would be F-Secure, but it causes to many issues with FP and no warnings from Deepguard (some games won't even launch with no warnings, unless you disable Deepguard). Contrary to popular believe I don't care about Kaspersky whasoever, is simply the best solution I have for family members PCs, they all setup to work without user interaction and I manage them all through Cloud. I meant same can be done with Kaspersky which is what I do, either is fine, and yes, everyone should use what fits their needs. Same way I don't care what others use on their PC, I simply have nausea by now of everyone claiming Windows Defender is perfect and there no need for third-party AVs. Despite recommending Kaspersky often, at least I'm not a blind fanboy and acknowledge the weaknesses of it, same way I acknowledge it doesn't fit everyone needs, [B]but never in my right mind I'll claim Windows Defender makes third-party AVs obsolete[/B]. By users that don't know what they doing? No. Same goes for regedit, so they need to rely on third-party software to configure Windows Defender. [/QUOTE]
