[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 807754"] Hehe welcome to the darkside:devil: It's one of the reasons why I don't rely on 3rd parties anymore. Microsoft has made WD a very capable security solution, especially when you take all the security features within W10 into account. Its protection capabilities are right up there with the big boys and like you, its performance impact keeps improving. I don't even notice it at all to be honest. With 1903, MS is finally addressing a major weakness with WD, by adding tamper protection. Between this, BAFS, ASR, Exploit protection controlled folder access, etc... it's hard to believe where WD started. I know some people are still a little hesitant, which is totally understandable, but IMO, it's just as good as the big boys and best of all, it doesn't annoy you. You can use things like H_C, syshardener, OSA, VS, etc... if you want to fill in some gaps, but you really don't need much more than that IMO. I've stopped worrying along time ago about getting infected and stressing about being attacked by advanced exploits/malware, which really doesn't impact home users TBH. Instead I've focused on enjoying my computer. Sure one can find examples of malware bypassing WD, but to be brutally honest, you can find examples of malware bypassing all AV's, as no product is 100٪ perfect. ;) [/QUOTE]
