[QUOTE="shmu26, post: 775479, member: 37647"] Windows Defender at default settings is meant to be used in a typical environment, where Windows Smartscreen will block zero-day downloads. As for torrenters who download their warez in zip files, in which case Windows Smartscreen won't work, Microsoft doesn't have a lot of love for those people, anyways. :) But seriously, torrenters will anyways turn off their AV and their firewall when they run their crack, so it doesn't really matter.
