[QUOTE="struppigel, post: 1060908, member: 86910"] It is not my experience that it can be easily disabled. That is from setting up a VM for malware analysis, where you actually never want to see Defender again. But what happens: [LIST] [*]you disable defender, some components are back after reboot [*]or it is not disabled because described method does not work anymore [*]you finally find a tool that works, but defender comes back with new updates [*]or defender remover tools that worked in the past do not work anymore [/LIST] I had to resort to using an old version of Windows 10 and disabling Windows updates (which also is not straightforward), so that Defender never comes back for the malware lab. Whether it is good idea for protection to use Defender, is a different question imo. I think it is a decent product, but keep in mind it is also the most widely used one. So if I was a malware developer and wanted to get the most bang for my bug, I would primarily concentrate on evading Defender. [/QUOTE]
