[QUOTE="Zero Knowledge, post: 1018810, member: 57429"] You're coming at the problem from an experienced security person who is able to manage settings on security software, most people can't be bothered or don't have the skills or patience to manage security software at anything but default settings. 3rd party AV is dying, most home users use WD on default settings hence the problem. People won't pay when you can get something for free, and most people either use the AV that was installed by default on their laptop, or they use WD on default settings as I mentioned before. Enterprise is a different beast altogether because there you have people employed to manage software and troubleshoot user problems. But even at enterprise level they usually just ship AV at default levels and spend most of the time troubleshooting user problems/issues. The more complex/configurable security software like EDR/NDR is usually the domain of businesses that have regulation that forces them to have high levels of protection/logging/defenses think financial/health/government.
