Windows Defender vs Top 100 Malware Sites

[_adielj]

Imagine being infected with 100 different viruses and your inmune system blocks 99% of it, that is how powerfull windows defender is becoming.

It's Amazing to see how windows defender became better overtime.. someday it might become so perfect so that we don't have to look for an alternate antivirus anymore

All I can say as a IT Support guy since 2007, is that till Windows 8/8.1 appeared with Defender built in, I was doing 3-4 malware cleans/rebuilds a week. Since then with 10 and 11, it's now 3-4 a year and most of those are just adware or a sanity check to delete a legit remote app off a laptop some guy from India made them install. I actually get more 'virus' calls from Apple users now. Unchecky is a handy little tool for keeping stuff clean.

What I like about Windows Defender on Windows 10 and 11, is you don't have to do anything! It goes to work, keeps its mouth shut, runs in the background, only alerts you when needed, and doesn't slow down your PC. If you are carful online, Windows Defender is all that you need. Additionally all the modern brosers have smart screen and download scanning built in, so that really helps!

I’m glad you did this test. You’re right there’s a lot of guys on Reddit who have a lot of opinions, but never seen tests of what Windows Defender can do.

[teknologyguy]

Would like to see you do the included Windows Defender vs the Paid Microsoft Defender version that is now available with O365 vs something like Malwarebytes across a larger sample base, should be interesting.

I really like this kind of videos. It gives a clear understanding of why is it so important to have cybersecurity.

AT LAST .... the channel returned to its originalform(*antivirus Vs malware tests), which was the main reason for me being subscribed in the first place !!

[AkatGamer]

The detections were in line with what I expected! Windows defender is so good nowadays and the important thing is that it is not heavy on the system.

Fun fact (00:30): In 2013, the latest version of Windows was Windows 8, which already featured Windows Defender. WD was initially released as a standalone application for Windows XP in 2006 before being directly integrated within the release of Windows Vista

[poprobotanims]

didn't expect these results, windows defender is truly improving!

[GreeKing]

I would also add if you are using Office 365, it comes with Microsoft 365 Defender, which is a unified enterprise defense suite with advanced capabilities. For example, it proactively hunts for threats, has identity threat protection, dark web monitoring, prevents cross-domain attacks, etc.

[PSXman]

would like to see a full Windows Defender vs. Ransomware/Malware and everything in between.
but not in a VM but in a real system with HVCI.

So nobody is talking about the fact that the like button is shining when he said "please like and share this video" at 7:47

Frankly it really is great to see windows defender doing better over the years. With supply chain issues becoming a greater concern with 3rd party software solutions, having good first party support for viruses, etc is good.

[fetzie]

TBH I've had so many problems with third party antivirus software breaking things like Windows updates or false-positive blocks (like once the windows logon service got blocked) that I just run Defender now.

[NomadOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you for doing these types of videos. I generally don’t leave comments, but I do value your opinion and your testing. I have always ran a third-party antivirus program such as bit defender, and even that has failed me over the years with info stealers a few years ago I got hit with an info stealer, and just like you said I lost my YouTube channel took me a long time to get it back

[ridley]

I'm really liking defender more and more. Considering I am a sole infrastructure engineer and the business is wanting to use bitdefender mainly, i think potentially having the both of these helps alot from a cloud protection and local.

[PAIN-otcj]

Great content! You guys should make a whole series testing all the antivirus on the market like this I’m curious on how my bitfender would hold up and I bet a lot of people are wondering the same about the antivirus they use.

[Sapious]

Appreciate your time and sharing the results of this test.
