      You forgot to mention Kaspersky is really good when it comes to detecting new versions of the same malware for example the new redline malware that recently got released ,Kaspersky was 1 of the only 2 AV to detect the malware and this was malware being pushed as an OBS install file and a lot of people fell for it as it was an ad pushed by Google ( first link most people click on by habit)

    I think Windows Defender has come a long way. I also think that Microsoft puts more effort into the background function and less on the GUI and control functions of Defender. The reason being is that MOST people want to set it and forget it. They don't want to make decisions about different settings. Also they would likely not go looking for trouble and face a massive bombardment of malware like Leo does !!! 😉 So I think Windows Defender does it's job well given the usual operating preferences of its users. That said, it doesn't excuse the poor GUI and ransomware performance. Also would love to see a head to head of Bitdefender and Sophos, or Malwarebytes and Sophos!! Thanks

    As someone who encountered ransomware before, I was really hoping Defender got a lot better on that front. Gandcrab was my first (and hopefully last) encounter with RW. My VAIO died too soon on me so I was borrowing PCs and most of my files were on one HDD. One PC had GC. I'm usually extra cautious with my PCs (never got one infected since high school), but I was obviously not used to using others' PCs. I waited months before Bitdefender came up with a free decrypter. I've been super extra cautious since then, regardless of what AV the PC has.
    The PC's owner stuck with Defender as he was a user of MSE, which never failed him before. Tbf, MSE was a solid AV back then, and I actually recommended it before.

The guy I bought the new PC from recommended that I relied on Windows Defender and NOT install 3rd party software, as he thought there would be a big impact on performance - he said they'd 'keep fighting each other' - whether that's true I don't know! I was wondering if anyone did notice performance dropping if Kaspersky was installed. I regularly get a malicious e-mail with no content but with something nasty in a PDF. I've noticed that Kaspersky (on the old PC) pounced on it before I'd even noticed the e-mail, but Defender doesn't flag it for me (obviously I just delete it), so I think Kaspersky is a good product.

The VMs only use the NAT service of the host for web service.

      It doesn't affect the performance, but it doesn't send info to the cloud or receive it.
      They have a website called Opentip, and any undetected file that is uploaded and detected there by the Analysis will be instantly sent to KSN and Kaspersky will remove the file from the PCs it's on.
      It's also to check reputation of files and websites.

    I had a trojan on my computer 5 months ago, windows defender found it, but was unable to remove it, then installed kaspersky, nothing was found, so I contacted kaspersky, they said to send me the logs, did it, and then they pushed out an update and boooom, detected and removed immediately. So I recommend sending logs to antivirus softwares if you see anything unusual on your computer, for example a file missing out of the sudden, or window closes, or high cpu usage in task manager for an unknown task.

    what is important are the results however. now that microsoft seems to have improved malware detection to the level of kaspersky (an unexpectedly good result tbh.), defender missing ransomware is where they need to put their efforts. the ui can crash under heavy load all day long for all i care as long as it stops the threat.

      not using or "paying" for an antivirus doesn't mean that I haven't ran scans here and there, it only means that I have not used an active antivirus program (other then Windows defender in the last few years).

    Windows defender is really getting better when it comes to simple malware. However, it takes much more memory in the background. But kaspersky also sometimes spikes up so I guess it's even now. Kaspersky is getting concerning for me now as I see a lot of false positives these days. This was the issue with defender now it's getting same with kaspersky. Defender could lead the charts if they find a way to deal with ransom threats. I personally shifted to Kaspersky because of the same ransom threat issue was hit by one on Windows. So, overall I believe Kaspersky gonna stay behind if they keep this low performance up.

    you should test the AV's against not "known" malware, the malware that you tested here is malware that are on signature lists (how AV detects 99% of malware) and that doesn't prove anything (I could make a AV myself that would be able to check for malware signatures). The important thing is can those AV's detect (unknown) malware at runtime or are we relying on security researches to find threats and add signatures, that's the only thing that makes certain AV better than other (unless if they don't keep their signature lists up to date [which would be plain stupid]).

      How can you test against the "unknown", unless you know it's there; and if you know it's there, then it's already known. The only people who have "unknown" malware (also called zero-day) are the guys who wrote malware themselves, and they're not sharing, at least not publicly.
      >> I could make a AV myself that would be able to check for malware signatures
      Easier said than done, there're millions of malware out there with tiny variations between them. It's not trivial to check for malware signature efficiently: not just a simple hash comparison.
      >> unless if they don't keep their signature lists up to date [which would be plain stupid]
      You'd be surprise at how stupid a user can be.

      1. By "known" malware I mean malware that's very well known in the cybersecurity community. I don't mean that it has to be a 0day because that's a type of vulnerability but I mean that they should test it against their own implementations in C++ (see if they can encrypt all the files without av catching in).
      2. It's very trivial to check for signatures for AV companies (checking behaviours is [relatively] much harder than checking for a signature).
      3. AV (including windows defender) keep their signature lists updated automatically with the server. HOWEVER I was talking about the server not having those signatures in their databases which is what leads to problems
      And yeah I know it's very easy to obfuscate malware which is why that's what you should check to see when AV kicks in and when it doesn't

    I'd been using Kaspersky for many years, but last year during my renewal I decided to see if it was actually still needed or if something was better. Most comparisons were for other paid services but a few actually brought in Defender as a contender which showed it as a great option and even better than several paid services. It's come a long way and as long as you aren't doing anything stupid such as clicking banner ads or random links and you're not downloading every questionable program you find, Defender does seem to be a solid choice. It still does a good job at blocking and notifying. I'll admit Defender could use a UI update and a boot to streamline, but to be fair you did just bombard it was 670 downloads which isn't typical use so even at 10 it's still good.
