[QUOTE="TheMalwareMaster, post: 826512, member: 47679"] I mean, Windows Defender usually has higher detections than panda, and some fancy features such as controlled folders access (works really well in case of ransomware attacks, but has false positives). Then you really make each file you run go through VirusTotal (which has all static engines), so I don't see the need of any third party AV. VoodooShield also blocks malware that comes from flash drives because it denies the execution of autorun. The only vector of attack that could go through is a browser exploit (which sends malware directly into memory), but that's really rare and I have never encountered one, or the well-known VoodooShield bypass that kills VS first and then runs the malware (but you need to fall for a targeted attack), or other unknown VoodooShield bypasses. Related to "being light", I only find some slowdown when the desktop loads on startup, and it's mainly due to VoodooShield and its desktop gadget, but not when I use my PC (then again, Windows Defender is known to slow you down when copying/pasting files, but I don't find it a great issue) [/QUOTE]
