[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 103564, post: 1064491"] You asked if defender can detect a custom made virus or one not listed in its signatures, I replied with, it is able to detect malicious activity based on on behavior of activity meaning it does not require signature to detect if it behaves a certain way,.what I should mention though is while it can detect them it needs to be online to submit those suspicious behaviors and their process trees to the protection cloud service. You are using this system as an off line back up platform correct. You do know you can scan your device and back ups from the original machine you are pulling them from before connecting to the offline one correct? [/QUOTE]
