[QUOTE="SpyNetGirl, post: 1060916, member: 98858"] Easily disabled? Well show them this [URL='https://github.com/HotCakeX/Harden-Windows-Security']Harden Windows Security module[/URL] and then ask them to "easily" disable it. Also use that repo to get [B]accurate knowledge[/B] about Defender and Windows Security. There are lots of misinformation out there and google indexes them all. I was like you before, under the same impression, but had to finally put a stop on it all and create something that I can trust without misleading or fooling myself or others I care about. The fact is, Microsoft Defender is better than any other free or paid security product. period Also it's not just Defender that is in charge of security in Windows. Many layers (Such as Device Guard settings, Attack Surface Reduction rules, a modern hardware that supports security features such as kCFG etc.) are working towards that goal and you need to configure all of them properly if you want an almost bullet proof workstation (nothing is 100% bulletproof of course). Hardware + Software working together, that's the idea. Using Virtual Machines for malware tests you gotta be careful, it's way too easy to lose focus and arrive at the wrong results because it's not the physical hardware and many features aren't available in a VM. And by the way, Anything can be disabled with Administrator rights, that's a totally expected phenomenon. [/QUOTE]
