[QUOTE="Game Of Thrones, post: 1102721, member: 23430"] yeah, we have a lot of infected USB devices here too, we tested, and Bitdefender, Eset, and Kaspersky did not care where the file came from and used their cloud and full protection layers on every unknown and new file no matter the entry point. Bitdefender uses its cloud on execution but Eset and Kaspersky use it on access. Windows Defender is somehow weak in terms of this entry point, in default USB devices can infect a system, iv seen some in people's laptops and PC in shops and copy stores and stuff, and the attack chain gets interrupted when that flash drive arrives in a system with Eset, Kaspersky, BitDefender installed. the beast is Bitdefender, back in the day (many years ago) there was a virus that kept files hidden in USB drives and in those days Kaspersky, Eset, and Bitdefender detected it. they were the first. all the security solutions just detected the virus and deleted it. but Bitdefender was a surprise, it not only detected the virus but repaired the USB drive and made the files unhidden and like a normal USB drive. if you see in tests Bitdefender and Kaspersky are the two best in repairing an infection. windows defender? it needs the point of entry to have a better repair or it will just react on simple mechanisms (detect and delete) [/QUOTE]
