[QUOTE="monkeylove, post: 1081682, member: 19756"] You didn't understand my point: what I'm saying is that "common sense" or "good habits" or whatever they're called and even defined isn't enough. That's why even Microsoft had to come up with Defender, and for the company even that's not enough. What about users misconfiguring security apps, etc., (includes tweaking Defender!) and not just expanding attack surfaces but even leading to slow down, BSODs, etc? That can happen, which is why many features in the system are usually turned off by default. That reminds me of one article from the Microsoft advising gamers who turned on core isolation to turn it off first when gaming and then remember to turn it back on after gaming. [/QUOTE]
