[QUOTE="struppigel, post: 938209, member: 86910"] Disabling Defender can only be done [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]after your system has been compromised[/COLOR][/B], that means [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B]after detection by Defender could be evaded[/B][/COLOR]. It does not work to evade detection before the infection takes place. Thus, it is not such a weakness as some internet users like to portrait it. The only reason Defender is disabled after infection is to ensure persistence in the long run. Antivirus programs would pick up the malware after some time. But it does not work as an entry to infect the system in the first place. Defender Control is very helpful to disable Defender on my malware analysis machines. But even if I turn Defender off, some parts of Defender still activate from time to time which is pretty annoying. [/QUOTE]
