Why are we even messing with anything other than WD these days?

[QUOTE="Evjl's Rain, post: 821320, member: 51905"] WD will be a perfect AV if: - MS adds caching mechanism to WD => no more re-scanning of a file in 1 logon - Better behavioral blocker in default settings. I found it always sleeping in default settings, very reactive in tweaked settings, thanks to ConfigureDefender - Faster signature update. I found it slow and resource-consuming when I clicked check for update - Add an option to include BAFS (or smartscreen) in all conditions regardless of file origin => better hybrid default-deny - Faster and more stable removal speed. I found it very slow and frequently reverted some my registry tweaks :emoji_thinking: - More compact UI - Better exclusion menu: more detail and more specific (like Avast's old settings) - More stable web filter. Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't - More options in the main UI - Better/more usable folder/ransomware protection (optional) all the latest features for older windows versions: 8.1 and 7. It won't happen, though I know. That's why I never recommend WD for any people in my country because I know our daily routine and most people are still using HDD with low specs as soon as I opened task manager, I always saw WD trying to read/write something to HDD, heavily (dark orange color disk %). Average users are unable to notice it since WD is enabled by default and they use it since the beginning since I switched all of them to highly-tweaked kaspersky security cloud free and avast (performance is no.1 priority), that never happens again [/QUOTE]
