[QUOTE="DeepWeb, post: 778312, member: 63811"] I have found things on my computer in the Recycle bin and AppData that Windows Defender never detected. Thank mother nature for Emsisoft Emergency Kit. For me the main issue is that I have had issues with the definition updates. They would corrupt and there is no way to troubleshoot and reset Windows Defender. I cannot rely on an AV that cannot even update its signatures. My heart was racing. What kind of trash was on my computer. So I disabled WD in Group Policy for eternity and have always used 3rd party AVs since Windows 10 1607 (Anniversary Update). [/QUOTE]
