[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 950270, member: 78686"] The experience that I shared is based on Windows 10's Microsoft Defender. Windows 11's Defender is the same but it's possible that there are a few bugs here and there but don't think that would change the on-demand scanner result shown in the video. I haven't face the latter part but the first part happens a lot when I decide to test it against multiple samples (not all at once like Leo does, I do one by one and wait for it to finish its removal process). A couple of weeks ago it detected malware after execution with its cloud protection and asked for a system restart for full removal. I checked task manager and Defender wasn't using any CPU so I decided to restart the system but after restarting, the files were still there and Defender UI kept showing active threats even after I told it to delete them. I was able to delete those files after disabling Defender's real-time protection and running a scan of Norton Power Eraser (Manual deleting was also possible). I fully agree. I still think Defender is good enough for average consumers but some of the flaws it has are simply terrible. I have not seen other home AVs with these types of issues. I don't understand why Microsoft doesn't bother with these basic flaws. [/QUOTE]
