[QUOTE="danb, post: 1101244, member: 62850"] Thank you for the test Shadowra! Yeah, the 25-30 or so Microsoft Defender settings that are optimized when applying the Recommended Profile in DefenderUI will have almost no effect when manually downloading and executing malware samples, except for possibly Cloud Protection Level (set to Zero-Trust). But if one were to test the change in efficacy of optimizing a specific Defender setting, such as one of the ASR Rules, the end result would be a very different story. In other words, DefenderUI certainly increases efficacy, but it is not easy to test. What would be interesting is if someone were to run the same test with DefenderUI Pro. DefenderUI Pro is essentially DefenderUI Free with a streamlined / lite version of CyberLock built in. We took the absolute best features of CyberLock from the last 13 years and combined it into DefenderUI Pro. It is targeted more towards businesses, but some people might prefer the streamlined CyberLock integration. [/QUOTE]
