Some of you are still confused why I had “real-time protection” turned off at the beginning. It’s because I wanted to see if Windows Defender can disinfect my machine after some malware launches its payload since having it turned on beforehand might corrupt the sample. I should also mention that other AV softwares such as Malwarebytes & Bitdefender are able to disinfect your PC even after you are infected.

I use defender and it's really enough for me, just avoid downloading suspicious files or if you are not sure, do a virustotal scan.
As for ransomware protection, it work really fine, even if it's annoying sometimes, it can save your files

It is enough, if you disable the AV and run malware then it's not WD's fault.

Sorry, that doesn't make sense. I don't know any normal user who switches off Defender.

Siam Alam: „Today we will test how good Windows Defender works against viruses.“
Also Siam Alam: *disables basic antivirus features*

Something which i really dont like about this Video:
It doesnt show any problems of the defender, and there was no damage done

I have Malwarebytes premium and I use Windows Defender as a another layer of security. I also don't download stuff from shady sites or any other programs that aren't legitimate. I check with Virustotal before going through with the installation.

I think it is possible to use Windows Defender as the main "Antivirus" - BUT, in this case is highly recommended an 'Alternative Tool for Removing Threats" as Hitman Pro o Norton Power Erase.

From my experiences against viruses
Ill say its not enough because it cant detect some types of malware so i recommend Another Antivirus and the best antiviruses i know are: kaspersky and nod 32

nice, thanks. YT is full of videos praising Defender, it's time to be realistic, we are not in late 2000 anymore, ransomware and fileless viruses are much more advanced now, I do not think Defender (version included in Windows) is up to the current challenge.

I guess Windows Defender isn't really designed to deal against 1k malwares...

Siam alam do this same test with real-time protection enabled

Hey, will you do a test of ClamAV?Its cross platform, open source, and free.
People say it used to be bad but now its good.
Real-time protection is supported only on linux though, would be nice if you tested it both on windows and linux.

i remember when i was downloading a game from a pirating site, i used it for a long time but i accidentaly clicked on a ad cause i was looking at my friend while he was talking to me. then i extracted and i seen it is sus, i tried opening task manager and stuff, but it was too late, and the virus wasn't ordinary, it was good, deleted all my files that i could have used to delete it or put my pc on fabric reset, idk how i did put it on fabric reset cause of my brother's and friends help, cause non of us knew what to do but we did it at the end, unknown how but yea.
