[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 815747, member: 32260"] The test methodology can be questionable for Windows Defender (it is probably OK for the rest). [LIST=1] [*]The Real Botnet test was performed on Windows 7 Ultimate, the other tests on Windows 10 Pro. [*]In Real Botnet test, the Firefox was used for testing WD (SmartScreen for Edge was not used). For other AVs, their safe browsers were used. [*]In-the-Wild test, Chrome was used for downloading samples (SmartScreen for Edge was not used). Anyway, in this particular test, it did not matter, because WD stopped all malware samples. [*]In Simulator test, Chrome was used in the case of WD, so Edge capabilities (preventing malware injection to the browser) were not tested. [/LIST] There were probably some reasons for other AVs to perform tests on different systems, using different browsers and skipping Edge. But, for WD this makes the difference. Edge is a kind of safe browser for using alongside WD (especially against code injections). Other AVs have their own safe browsers. Furthermore, WD on Windows 7 is inferior to WD on Windows 10 (even when they use the same engine version). Edit. One can make Edge (with WD) even safer (only for Banking) by using Exploit Guard. See for example [USER=50782]@Windows_Security[/USER] tweaks: [URL unfurl="false"]https://malwaretips.com/threads/microsoft-edge-preview-builds-are-here-download.91732/post-811803[/URL] [URL unfurl="false"]https://malwaretips.com/threads/three-reasons-chromium-microsoft-edge-can-be-bigger-than-google-chrome.91576/post-807429[/URL] [/QUOTE]
