[QUOTE="Local Host, post: 1002462"] Default deny is no standard user protection, so it has no saying in this specific test that is targeted at home users. Microsoft Defender is not detecting anything in default-deny, is simply blocking, and is useless to detect malware. That type of security is used in companies, where users are intended to have limited rights. Cracked software also has nothing to do with malware unless you roam fake sources, there are no legit CD-KEY generators in over 20y, we're not in 2000... Cracking methods have long since evolved along with the Software that has Online checks. Is no news to anyone MD can't protect properly, security comes from common sense, and with enough experience you don't need any AV at all, and MD is not even an option considering how buggy and resource hungry it is (so is not even useful as a paper weight).
