[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 89360, post: 914157"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1605477432635.png"]249106[/ATTACH] Windows Defender relies mostly on Machine Learning. Microsoft has trained Defender with a large set of malware. It has found similarities between malware and malware, malware family A and malware family B, etc. It has extracted whole "bags" of features typical only for malware and not for safe files. As soon as you download a file, Windows Defender extracts a "a second bag" full of key attributes, such as where it came from, file, size, metadata, is it packed, is it obfuscated... The two bags then just get compared. The more similar they are, the higher the chance that your file is malware. There are many techniques attackers can use to bypass this check. In this case Windows Defender will take the file from your machine and send it to what's known as Automated Malware Analyses and Detonation. This system executes the file and monitors how it behaves - does it behave like a safe file, or does it act malicious. All this is a very simple explanation for a very complicated set of technologies, only mathematicians can understand in-depth. The benefit for you is, you are protected without the need of definitions. They are now used only in case your device is disconnected temporarily and to scan the network for suspicious, hacker-attack-like activvity. [/QUOTE]
