[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 950229, member: 78686"] Microsoft Defender is weird. In my testing, I have seen its right-click scanner not detecting samples even for which it did have local signatures. Then I turned off the internet and entered into the folder containing malware and it started detecting most of them. I don't know if their scanner is broken or it's like this by design. It's very much dependent on the Real-time protection module. With an internet connection, the real-time scanner will detect most samples anyway so users will remain protected. [/QUOTE]
