[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 832811, member: 78686"] Man, I gotta say this TPSC guy doesn't understand Windows Defender Sandbox. He thinks Windows Defender Sandbox is a sandbox similar to Comodo's sandbox feature that puts unknown apps into a separate sandbox/container but that's not the case here. It puts Windows Defender itself into a container which is a completely different thing. Besides even this feature is not stable yet. WD acted weirdly the last time I enabled it so it shouldn't have been enabled for the test. But he keeps saying Sandbox and haha and blah blah blah. Better do some research before putting things like that in your video. Anyway, you shouldn't worry as YouTube tests doesn't represent real world scenarios. You have safe browsing habits and if you were protected by Emsisoft then it's highly unlikely that you would be infected by using Windows Defender. Windows Defender's cloud protection is pretty good and fast at detecting new threats. By default, the PUP protection is turned off so enable that manually and the detection rate is gonna get a bit better. Follow what [URL='https://malwaretips.com/members/blackice.79035/']blackice[/URL] said about security extensions. You can harden Windows Defender using [URL='https://github.com/AndyFul/ConfigureDefender']ConfigureDefender[/URL] [/QUOTE]
