[QUOTE="kC77, post: 1002166, member: 92796"] anyone who manages to get infected, trying to get a free game keygen or game mod or hacked copy of office or they click an email with "win $500" actually they deserve it.. im way past caring, im glad! yep im glad you got infected and all your precious memories destroyed, hopefully its a wake up and smell the coffee moment. if you have zero idea what you are doing online, then be prepared to have your info leaked and data leaked/cryptod......DONT rely solely on any software product to protect you! this is where kaspersky & bitdefender shine, not that I i like them, they come well configured and will do better than most against user stupidity. Although again DONT just think because you have "security software" you are "safe and protected" You should be backing up anything important 3-2-1 local... offsite... immutable.... Different/secure passwords for every service you interact with to protect against a single breach. this stuff doesn't just "happen" to your computer/network..... unless a state 0-day ....its always user initiated... either their OS or browser is out of date, or they run a router well past its EOL date. or they were tricked into clicking a link... then they accepted a prompt to run whatever that was... its ALWAYS user stupidity yes defender is not perfect, certainly not for newbies or click happy / install happy people, and a comment earlier i read about "how do they they protect the enterprise"......... well in the enterprise... again more layered protection, and many more restrictions are in place.. gateway security/software restrictions/SOC/no user is an admin/share security/DRaas/etc.... its a null point. with that said... defender, well as part of a layered approach hardware/software/common sense... defender is #perfection I wouldn't trade it for anything... ive yet to actually after 25+years outside of my labs see an alert or get "tricked" into anything........... it costs nothing, is baked into the OS.. sooooooo configurable mmmm,. not reliant on 3rd party/updates/mitigations/issues maybe its time for a "driving license" kind of thing is required to "be online" there is so many products and services reliant, and so many people that have zero idea about basic security. ymmv but if you have any idea, you dont even need an AV..........i dont, but im quite glad to have defender there doing nothing, if it gets to your AV its too late. Your other layers should of known well before, your spider senses and common sense should be tingling, just stop being so stupid clicking random links and unknown files by all means do this in a sandbox or a specific vlan'd VM as i do.. i love testing malware and defnderuiPRO by [USER=62850]@danb[/USER] coupled with defender is the ONLY solution that can consistently pass my tests of 1000+ .exe executed 100% eset i got ransomed..... bitdefender missed a few... sophos i lost the MBR and ability to boot.. you get the point? dont rely on any company/software, rely on yourself.... YOU are the best AV or security solution there is [/QUOTE]
