windows defender is all you need
@Deleted User it's the first thing I deactivate through the registry when reinstalling W10. But yeah, it made some progress compared to W7
I always compare it to Valve's VAC. If you hope to get rid of all cheaters, you're out of luck 😄
Nice new tools ! Always a good thing for the community ! thx @NoTeefy
i'd argue that windows defender + their virtualization based security is better than any other av
@Deleted User you're forgetting about the masses of data other AV providers are gathering each day and most of them provide virtualization aswell, not even talking about them having their drivers at kernel 0
microsoft is gathering the same data
There's literally no additional feature shipped with it that my Avast Premier couldn't provide^^
I doubt that. Just compare the usages
microsoft's hypervisor is running at 'ring -1'
avast probably uses some undocumented os features to provide the same security that windows defender provides
Also, Windows Defender already shits its pants if you're hex-editing a file, thus modifying its checksum
badly written av drivers are a huge problem for microsoft
there's literally no advantage for an av from kernel 0 and -1
but yeah, it's probably more of a personal problem I suppose. Which provider would you like to handle your data to? 😄
Malware can't run at -1 without zero day exploits
and WD won't do shit against zero days anyways
if you're at ring 0 you can get to ring -1 with no problems
you shouldn't even be able to get to ring 0 without signing your driver
