[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 523659, member: 7463"] F TV- Good question and one that is deserving of its own topic. Remember that when discussing any anti-malware defense in Windows 10 it really should be contrasted with the stuff seen in previous Windows builds; and if this is done Win 10 is natively superior totally and completely. Why?: 1). Win 10 has the Antimalware Scan Interface which will work with Windows Defender to yield better detection results, especially against scriptors. 2). The UAC of Win 10 will protect system files (including System Restore points) even if the user turns UAC off. 3). Smart Screen filter will protect from web based exploits whereas previous Windows builds will not. So- is Windows 10 proof against all malware? No. But, is Windows 10 much better natively against malware than any previous build? Absolutely Yes. Considering that Microsoft also gives away Windows 10 for free (Gratis), it amazes me that some refuse to install it because some Whack-Job keeps posting that Microsoft is looting personal information. The Blackhats must be rolling around in Glee to see how many are falling for this type of trash. Finally, will Window 10 stop my malware? Of course not! [/QUOTE]
