[QUOTE="Marko :), post: 950248, member: 39702"] Microsoft should really fix the Defender. It's the most buggiest antivirus software I've seen. So, I tested it few times before with the simple EICAR test file. Detection was fine, but for some strange reason, it couldn't quarantine or delete the file. Then I've tried to delete it manually, but couldn't because Defender was using the file and it was "locked". It kept nagging me how threats were found and the only way for me to get rid of it was to add an exclusion in Defender, delete it and then remove exclusion. Not to mention it takes ages to quarantine/delete the file while competitors do it in the matter of seconds. They should make new Defender from scratch. SmartScreen too as there are more private ways to do it instead sending full URLs of visited websites. It's just the way how Defender works. It's the same in 10. [/QUOTE]
