IMO there are very few antivirus solutions nowadays that are actually better than the native, FREE and no hassle Windows Defender.
Solutions like Default-Deny products, Comodo with
@cruelsister settings, Kaspersky, ESET and Emsisoft are without a doubt superior to the protection offered by default settings of Windows Defender, but many other solutions are simple subpar compared to it.
If you think that your great signature solution is much better than Windows Defender you should think twice.
Native Windows security suxx on Windows Home and Pro because Microsoft made it that way. Actually, I can argue that the sukinex is even worse on Enterprise. At the Enterprise Windows level it is all about default deny... lockdown\lockdown.
For all Microsoft security... No documentation, difficult to figure out, hard to configure, a real pain to maintain, in short... an excessive administrative burden.
Anyhow, I never got infected despite my malware and malicious script antics when Windows Defender was enabled. I did once encrypt my Dropbox because I got distracted, lost focus, and didn't pay attention. :X3:
SRP and tweaked Windows Defender Security Center is a good combo. No one can deny it. No one. It isn't perfect, but it sure is one helluva speed-bump for the malc0ders and hacks to contend with. Sufficient to make all but the most determined and motivated to give up.
Default Windows security suxx. Period. There are gaping holes in it by design... by Microsoft intent !
At the end of the day, people want to install a security soft and expect it to do everything for them. No one wants to have to think, respond, work or otherwise do a thing. Heck, the publishers are lucky if the person paid for the license.
