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

[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 968995, member: 32260"] <Cloud Protection Level> = Highest, is a strong anti-ransomware protection. It is a simplified version of the "[I]AI-driven adaptive protection[/I]" implemented in the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. The full feature can use normally the low aggressiveness level and can make it higher when suspicious processes are detected. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.microsoft.com/security/blog/2021/11/15/ai-driven-adaptive-protection-against-human-operated-ransomware/[/URL] Other anti-ransomware features come from ASR rules and Network Protection. They can prevent the delivery of ransomware and one ASR rule is strictly related to block ransomware techniques. The last feature is Controlled Folder Access that is intended to protect the user-selected folders (some folders are protected by default). Use <View Blocked Events> to identify what is blocked. Use <Manage the Whitelist> to allow the application in SRP. You can post about problems to the SWH forum. I do not know. But, some MT members know it for sure. Anyway, if you enable Network Protection, then the SmartScreen should be extended also to Firefox and any other web-based application. You can use this link in Firefox to see how it works: [URL unfurl="true"]https://smartscreentestratings2.net/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
