[QUOTE="Studynxx, post: 1118709, member: 98674"] Not hating, but I genuinely don't understand why folks won't invest a tiny amount of money into a high quality 3rd party AV. One of the biggest issues with MS Defender is that malware authors know that on the majority of systems, it's the AV of choice, so they write their malware specifically to bypass it and to deactive it. IIRC you can deactivate it via a .dll, I'm not sure if I'm remembering correctly, but this method is what legit 3rd party AV vendors use, as well, to deactivate Defender so their AV can take over. I'm not a Kaspersky shill, not paid for it etc, but I've never got malware and I've been using Kaspersky for 5 years at least. To me personally, its Application Control module is by far the best feature, I look at it as a refined version of Microsoft's App Locker, or sometimes, it even resembles Device Guard to me, albeit it's more of a set of features (DG).
