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

[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 969036, member: 78686"] I actually wanted to ask you this but forgot and now remembered after you mentioned this MS blog post. Maybe I'm wrong but to me, it looks like MS is kind of saying that it's not necessary to tweak the cloud protection level anymore. It's AI-driven adaptive protection is now smart enough to automatically change its aggressiveness when required. Also in AV-Comparative's business test, MS used to make two changes to the default settings, one is installing “Windows Defender Browser Protection” extension on Google Chrome and the other one “CloudBlockLevel” set to “High”. Not even Highest aka High+. But in the latest Business AVC test, CloudBlockLevel wasn't modified. So it was kept on Default. So because of the MS blog post and the AVC test, it seems Microsoft is now confident on their "Default" cloud protection level. [/QUOTE]
