[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 948192, member: 83059"] I think one thing that people are missing is that [B]competition is good[/B] for the whole industry. I am not a professional malware writer, but I've found it takes me less than an hour to write a proof of concept that bypasses Microsoft Defender or another AV. But where it gets challenging is trying to write something that defeats all of them at once. As soon as you start doing that, most AVs' heuristics start picking up on both the code and runtime behavior that you're using to do that. A world with just Microsoft Defender IMO would not be as secure as a world where attackers have to worry about defeating at least the top 3-5 AVs to stand a chance at spreading. MD is good, but just because one product is good doesn't mean that everything else is superfluous. [/QUOTE]
