[QUOTE="Dreams&Visions, post: 1116614, member: 118225"] Thank you so much [USER=92939]@Shadowra[/USER] for all the precious time you invested in sharing those reviews with us, highly appreciated! Great to see that M$ Defender has grown strong over time, and even default config will most likely prevent damage from systems not actively monitored by their users, I think even M$ updates arrive and install automatically now? Of course, there is never 100% safety, and I'd bet if you come across some 0day, or something not known by signatures yet, M$ Defender will struggle? However, having tested many AVs in the past, there isn't any AV being bulletproof, if you try hard enough. I think combining any widely known and reputated AV w/ safe browsing habits, with Adblocker + Bitdefender TrafficLight (or else), and double-checking .exe on VT before opening (of course, only using trusted downloads), you should be quite fine as regular user. In corporate environment, you might be higher class target, however I think it's more a user fault (social engineering) in many cases than a AV defect. [/QUOTE]
