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

[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 968901, member: 32260"] Yes, I am aware. The SRP was also tested with Recommended Settings + Forced SmartScreen. From the point of view of the user, these setups are similar. The Forced SmartScreen in the SRP test did a similar thing as VirusTotal (and AI lookup) in the VS test. If VS was tested in "Always ON" mode and SRP with All_ON setup, then one could probably test them over a year without any misses. It is nice that we can agree on something. But, it seems that we differently understand modern threats. I understand them as in the Microsoft documentation, and that means the lateral movement especially with using .NET DLLs and kernel-based malware (Bad USB, kernel exploits, etc.). For fighting such threads you need the "Modern SRP" which is Microsoft Defender Application Control (a mix of the classic SRP idea with Application Guard). [/QUOTE]
