Interesting video! It emphasizes the importance of having a robust security system in place. Thanks for sharing.
 
I use Defender. Ask me if I care about this video?
It can't be that hard to make a video of any AV being breached if you know what you are doing. Some do it because they have a bias against a certain software. ( Not saying that is the case in this video.)

What happens when the samples are modified and slip right past your now expensive security suites you had to have because you do not trust windows security :unsure:

Before execution.

Not to mention Imaging software to restore the whole system should something like this bypass "ANY" security you may have in place, oh and do not forget offline backups of personal files ect so as to not lose those during any process.

App Review - Playing with UAC

I think SAC could help, but it is deactivated and cannot be reactivated on many computers.... If MS could create an option to enable or disable it at will, that might increase security. Agree: but there is WHHL to the rescue (with WDAC-ISG and SRP blocking risky file extensions which use...

To be fair though, I do the same with windows. I can open a windows laptop with nothing but default security and an ad blocker in the browser and just use the device as intended. I used to run my windows machine this way for a long time just fine. I kept analysis tools on hand to manually check the system from time to time, but other then, I did not focus on it as much as I used to when I did all the security/application testing here. I would keep Process Explorer/Autoruns both with VT enabled, PeStudio and TCPview on the device for checking from time to time. I of course always checked files and applications "downloads" ect in VT or PeStudio before execution, I always cross referenced websites before proceeding, I "verified" everything as I was never in too big a hurry to not be cautious and thorough. I kept everything backed up and on external devices should something happen, never storing personal important items on the system directly. No infections in all that time. It was not tons of security that kept my system clean, it was habits.

You remind me, I need to find a free imaging backup program. I do weekly personal files backup but need to find one for quarterly disk imaging.

Too bad he is not using the advanced (hidden) settings of MS Defender. I can be a big difference. I know most of the MS Defender users are not using regkeys, GPO's, DefenderUI or an other tool to tweak MS Defender. Microsoft can add these easy in the Defender UI.
