[QUOTE="Nightwalker, post: 840048, member: 23015"] Personally I dont care too much about stuff that doesnt matter in a real life scenario usage. It is not necessary to break the antivirus self-defense to infiltrate the system, but it can be done by a motivated attacker anyway: [URL unfurl="true"]https://blog.silentsignal.eu/2018/01/08/bare-knuckled-antivirus-breaking/[/URL] If a malware has successfully executed and obtained admin access, it is already over, there is no reason to bother with the antivirus at all, but if the initial payload execution is denied in the first place (Windows Defender can do that) the self-defense has no utility. By no means tamper protection is useless, but it is highly overrated in keeping the system protected. [/QUOTE]
