Thank you, In the process of purchasing the first PC desktop I’ve bought in years. Been debating whether to rely on MS Defender or purchase additional protection, debate settled. New to TPSC, really enjoy your reviews.

To be fair, for something that comes as the default, built-in anti-virus, 90+% isn't all that bad.

Think of it in the context of reality:
(A) You don't get carpet bombed into submission with 1500 different malware, you get one piece of malware, if any.
(B) Common sense will allow you to avoid at least 9/10ths of malware to begin with, so this is an additional 9/10ths on top of that, which brings the overall effective protection to at least 99%

I feel like i could catch a malware virus just by watching this video.

[HypeWrecks]

This is giving me an unbelievable amount of anxiety.

9:25 I love how the icons on the desktop and windows defender synced up with the music

This must be what my parents saw when I downloaded games as a kid

Thank you so much for your work. I was seriously considering relegating AV duty from Bitdefender to Windows, given recent "perfect" lab results, but this just affirms my decision to go with a dedicated security suite on all our devices.

[ShihadMan]

lets all remember that he had to turn off real-time protection to actually be able to place the viruses in his computer. Thats a pretty strong first barrier

[emmanel]

this is like watching ultron and jarvis fighting but way more mild

[David-Alfonso]

I feel like my computer is getting dirty just watching this.

[arisu]

Ah yes, the smell of a fresh malware in the morning

[Saturate]

Summary:
1. Windows Defender is really slow checking files
2. Bad detection ratio
3. Makes Windows slower compared to other AVs like BitDefender

For ransomware protection using Windows 10 built-in tools, the only reliable way to protect oneself is the Controlled Folder Access feature.

In the latest Windows 10 version the user has an easier way to unblock the apps that are wrongly blocked by controlled folder access.

Unless the user has his/her own 3rd party security tool that he/she uses, it's always a good idea to create a dedicated folder on the hard drive and add it to controlled folder access, then put all the important data there. It's not the most elegant solution but it will protect your data from encryption.

Those hash names got me ptsd from the time where i was founding and deleting viruses manually

Excellent forensic run. My BP went up just watching this!

Loved your thorough, calm and clinical approach. That is until...

"I trusted you!" LOL

[HobkinBoi]

I think some antivirus experts should get onboard with the whole defender program, so they can help improve it and increase the chance of it catching malware.

"This one's good! We have a nice waterfall over here" That warmed my heart ❤
