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

[QUOTE="TheBlueCreeper512, post: 888811, member: 87607"] WD is very nice for default protection but I find that the Windows Security application is very buggy, also just today I was installing COMODO Firewall as a supplement to WD, it detected PUA:Win32/FusionCore, I knew what it was, the installer bundles a bunch of crap nobody needs, but the installer won't work without the two DLLs that WD detected, so I ignored them, after installing CF, I didn't really like it and I got rid of it, I decided to quarantine the two DLLs that WD detected, but apparently the files are gone from my AppData\Local\Temp folder, but WD still detects it, the worst thing is that when I tell WD to "Start Actions", it just goes in a loop where it tells me to run a quick scan, finds the same nonexistent threat, I press Start Actions and it does this all over again, I even use the repair upgrade option with the Media Creation Tool, and it still does the same thing. I really want to like Windows Defender, but I just can't, not with all these bugs. TL;DR: WD keeps detecting the same nonexistent threat, even after a repair upgrade. [/QUOTE]
