[QUOTE="Local Host, post: 938284"] Windows Defender protection against scripts is poor by default, so is not stopping anything unless it's flagged as known malware. I can easily bypass UAC and disable WD with a C# application, and it won't be detected. From there I could download any known or unknown malware to do whatever. Agree to disagree, Tamper Protection is useless cause you can still disable WD in the current session (it won't turn back on, already tested), only after a restart that WD is back on (and only if not corrupted by malware already), and by then is too late. Microsoft had to go as far as removing regedit entries for WD, cause it was that easy to bypass Tamper Protection, and it still is unfortunately. [/QUOTE]
