[QUOTE="oldschool, post: 882398, member: 71262"] Leo is one of the last people I would trust for info on Windows Defender. He regularly bashes it in his videos and clearly doesn't understand how it works or how to test it. See his Windows Defender Sandbox test as a prime example. :LOL::LOL::LOL: He makes his living producing clickbait and scaremongering. Millions of people use it and stay secure. Respected forums like Bleeping Computer, Ten Forums and many MalwareTips members recommend using Windows Defender. ConfigureDefender will allow you to easily configure its advanced settings and add ASR rules to thoroughly harden WD. You are perfectly safe with it if you practice safe online habits. Everyone should use the AV or other security that suits them, but please make your decision an informed one. If you feel you need more protection you may use OSArmor, VoodooShield or other OS hardening. Finally, remember that there is a certain amount of paranoia on security forums. My motto is "Stay safe, not paranoid!" (y)(y) [/QUOTE]
