After watching your videos, I went from Kaspersky, Then to Bitdefender and to no antivirus for couple of months and now using Windows Defender. I realized, Windows Defender is more than enough for my online protection. These videos of yours are good for testing purpose only. It is true, when they say the first defense is the user, then the firewall and last but not lease, the antivirus. I use Firefox with Multi-Container and NoScript. I surfed the net for months without using any antivirus. But your videos make the users very spooky. It makes them want to jump on the bandwagon, like get Kaspersky or Bitdefender or without this I'm wrecked.
Windows security works like a charm, unlike a lot of free antivirus solutions that's on the market, without hampering system performance. You can enhanced Windows defender settings to prevent common attack scenarios that many free antivirus lacks.
@@brenlouissurio2404 It's relevant to the comment he gave, so what. Also, those "Linux vegans" are not telling you they use Linux, they you they are using Arch (btw). And yes, that's some kind of meme. Installing Arch is not easy, so it's some kind of accomplishment.

This result makes me interested to know what tool is defending you the most. I expected that Windows Defender was good enough these days. but apparently not.
"Anti-viruses are viruses, because you think you're completely safe but when you go to tons of sketchy websites, that's when you realize it" -Mutahar Anas
Most common viruses tries to get you to download images or run javascript. So you can reduce the chances greatly with tools for a decent browser and configure some settings. It does NOT stop hackers using their sites to log your open ip and port if you connect directly to their websites... No browser apps can protect you once you lose the stealth of being incognito online.
Why is Defender relying on cloud services to that degree? It should have an local database with signatures for all known ransomware/virus since last update
The reason being is to get the most recent data. If those signatures are stored on your local computer, it would get outdated easily and you must "resync" just to fetch those signatures on a regular basis which would be annoying.
Its ridiculous that defender is so heavily reliant on the cloud to operate properly. A couple gigs larger installation (or size in general) is a reasonable trade off for better offline security.
I assure you, if you want it to have the same reliability + offline, it won't be "a couple gigs larger" Norton in early 2000s was so pathetic due to this sort of operations. The distributed database of security software can easily be too large for anyone to comprehend. There has been numerous research papers and PhDs awarded to the study of optimizing these databases alone. Another benefit, should you consider it, is the fact that these distributed databases use similar technologies to blockchains. If a new threat is detected in multiple systems, an engineer will be notified quite early.
Very good demo! Defender has come a long way since I dont know.. XP? I used to buy webroot and kaspersky for protection (along with malwarebytes) but I find that I rarely run into threats other than web redirects and pop ups that make you think your pc is compromised. All you do is ctrl alt del and close the browser and clear the history :) Now, Defender is all use for Windows 10 and it has definitely got better since Win10 was introduced. The ultimate protection from these viruses (whether you use it for home or business network joined pc) is to either create an elevated user account to authenticate changes to your pc or get a product that handles threat protection and create your own exclusions of what certain .exe can run on your pc. If its not a recognized .exe, .msi or .dll, it is blocked and only you can approve it. There is a product for that, but I cant post it here :)
I wonder if Windows Defender would detect those malwares under different circumstances. For example, if you download a infected program from the internet versus putting it directly on your computer via pen drive or virtual machine copy paste. Windows seems to be more restrictive of what you can execute that way.
Why? Put Malware Bytes on a USB stick and restart in safe-mode if a trojan or ransom gets on your PC. Run Malware Bytes in safe-mode and voila you'll be virus free when it's finished.
I keep OneDrive and GoogleDrive from running 24/7 for fear that my PC gets hijacked and ends up syncing the encrypted files with my online synced files
Yes, i got ransomed and one drive synced them up to the cloud - so, all local and cloud files were locked .... thank goodness i had a back up that was not connected to the local computer
To remove ransomware disconnect your internet connection then press F8 during start up. This will bring up a menu for the system mainframe, click on safe mode, this will keep the ransomware bottled up and prevent it from doing anything. Then open your O.S. explorer and enter list all, this will bring up all of the files on your computer. Then scroll through and look for files with the company name, and delete them. There was a file I could not delete until I had deleted the other remaining files. I found their files in four different locations so make sure you scroll all the way through all of your files. Once removed do a restart. I did this on a PC but don't know for sure if it will work on a laptop.
I know some ransomware will be able to encrypt files even in OneDrive but I know MS has tried to make OneDrive security better. I'd be curious how different AV's react if the user is using OneDrive for documents, pictures, etc...
AV's might not do much, but you'll certainly get an email from Onedrive once it detects a large number of encrypted files in it. It'll let you know that signs of ransomware has been detected, and will ask you if you'd like to recover the files. You get around 30 days and a couple of warnings before it finally goes away. Coupled with Defender, a good adblocker and some good old common sense, I don't see Ransomware as that problematic an issue.
Considering the fact that i have a full updated windows defender, and it couldn't remove a few trojans is quite sad lol (i m talking about my experience tho)
Seems like the offline test had the various programs fighting each other to encrypt the pc. I wonder if anything would actually be recoverable with that level of infection?
I don't think, files was encrypted and re encrypted several times, also with some unecryped files copy there is no way to known what appened to the files so you can't known what encryption type was used ecc.
As soon as I found your channel via a video suggestion, I immideately clicked and subbed to your channel. I also pressed the bell icon and I don't do that. When was the last time I did that, I don't remember. Stay blessed.
@crinaizer It is good enough, but Kaspersky and Bitdefender also provides free products for better protection, if you go through shady sites or doesn't know if a malware is downloaded. Or just a bit of extra protection. BTW, I use Kaspersky
I think for the basic user like me who doesn't download programs, music, files in general, who only browses RUclips, Facebook, Yahoo mail, and doesn't click on suspicious links, windows defender with the Firefox / Chrome bitdefender traficclight extension already it's enough for me. Of course, if I were an advanced user who downloads everything, opens everything that is a file, and yes, I would use something like Kaspersky or bitdefender.
Windows Defender became far better in the recent years, and is now placed among the best AV on the market, but no AV is perfect, and pirates improve each year. I personally use Kaspersky, but from my testing, the most determining factor is how aware the user is of is own actions.

Been using Norton's since you get for free with Xfinity but they discontinued that in 2121. So I just been using Windows Defender since I heard of the so call much improvement and Malwarebytes. For a couple of weeks now I notice lag in my computer when running Zoom. The first thing I did was run a full scan with Defender and Malwarebytes and neither one came up with any issues. Then I was thinking perhaps a port forwarding issue and tried just about every thing to try and fix it using the port according to their website ... but still had the issue. Anyway last weekend it was really bad and and this time also effected my browser watching YT. So I downloaded a trial version of Avera and it found 3 issues (not Ransomware, but spyware) after researching the names one was really bad. Avera caught the culprit of the download I made which was software called Driver Hub. Which also installed it at the install location. Anyway Defender nor Malwarebytes never saw it when I downloaded the file, and never saw it when I installed the the software. Tested Kaspersky also and the same results as Vera ... anyway I want to keep my bank account so I'm not using Defender and went with Kaspersky. Right now there offering a pretty good deal for 5 devices for 2 years for $85.00

Hell, some real nasty ones don't even require Wine to get you anymore.
@NΙΚΟΣ ΜΑΥΡΙΔΗΣ That makes no sense, you're implying that Linux is completely invulnerable and that the user is at fault just by simply using Windows because of security issues when, yet again, linux has them too. Many people who have made the switch to LInux ended up having problems and switched back to Windows simply because of its stability and ease of use.
Leo, have you ever done a "internet based" attack vector? As in possible compromises from corrupt websites, or scareware type popups. Something that an average user would come across while browsing the "web"... or even antivirus vs. phishing/scam emails (especially if a user follows the rabbit down the rabbit hole). I'm trying to find something I can send my users/students to show how to be vigilant against these pesky annoyances. Just curious.
Hey Leo, my thoughts are if only 1 malware always gets thru it's pointless shelling out hard earned money on flashy AVs ! Better to back everything to on an external HDD and install the best Free AV imo. I like Comodo FREE Premium with the Sandbox and Firewall but I have reservations about the people behind the company, they don't seem very professional but I like the Desktop Comodo but the Android is a bit wishy washy

After watching your videos, I went from Kaspersky, Then to Bitdefender and to no antivirus for couple of months and now using Windows Defender.
I realized, Windows Defender is more than enough for my online protection. These videos of yours are good for testing purpose only.
It is true, when they say the first defense is the user, then the firewall and last but not lease, the antivirus.
I use Firefox with Multi-Container and NoScript. I surfed the net for months without using any antivirus.
But your videos make the users very spooky. It makes them want to jump on the bandwagon, like get Kaspersky or Bitdefender or without this I'm wrecked.
Yup, Windows Defender isn't perfect, but pretty much every single well-known commercially available antivirus or firewall is a billion times worse
Would be nice to see how modern anti-virus handles these files as well.
Windows security works like a charm, unlike a lot of free antivirus solutions that's on the market, without hampering system performance. You can enhanced Windows defender settings to prevent common attack scenarios that many free antivirus lacks.
Could you do a test of Defender with an account that doesn't have admin permissions and compare on/off Internet performance?
if this ever happened to me, I'd only be upset that I have to redownload everything from steam 🤷♂️
same, maybe some lost progress that didn't back up in time would be somewhat annoying

As a Linux user, I find this fascinating. Would really like to see how well Bitdefender does as i occasionally dual boot.
They really tell everyone they're vegan/linux user. I'm quite amazed, I thought those are just jokes.
Yeap, it's like Mandatory

@@brenlouissurio2404 It's relevant to the comment he gave, so what.
Also, those "Linux vegans" are not telling you they use Linux, they you they are using Arch (btw). And yes, that's some kind of meme. Installing Arch is not easy, so it's some kind of accomplishment.
Would be nice if you can do the same test but this time with Windows Defender ATP.
Great video by the way. Thanks

Okay ima sound dumb af right now bit what is a white hat? It sounds like someone who has some type of political power who can't be stopped. I know nothing about hackers names or aliases.
@@Dig_Duke_SFM White Hat: A hacker who works for law enforcement or government agencies.

Im about to put my entire pc in that protected folder
I noticed at 2 minutes and 33 seconds that windows did ask whether the scarab.exe file should be run. I would have expected that any one with a bit of common sense would have selected No preventing file from executing and encrypting files on the PC.
Normally it would not be named scarab.exe, but something that a normal user would OK without thinking about, something like "Windows update.exe"
Do you want to protect your PC.exe
@@killerexe007 i mean, i would stil conssider that the average user would think twice when your anti virus tells you "hey, something is weird here"
that and the unknown publisher part
@@weberman173 yeah, no. if you supported end users in a business environment you'd know the average end user would 100% press yes on that, even if they didn't recognize the name. end users are really ignorant towards technology, that's why people are paid to support them lol
This result makes me interested to know what tool is defending you the most. I expected that Windows Defender was good enough these days. but apparently not.
Very informative. Thank you. Helpful to know the differences with online and offline as well.
So configuredefender is a must.
If you wanna block every EXE file, go for it.
@@Mario583a I don't think windows defender has a lot of false positives (it does, but not too much). And configure defender can make defender stronger
"Anti-viruses are viruses, because you think you're completely safe but when you go to tons of sketchy websites, that's when you realize it"
-Mutahar Anas
Most common viruses tries to get you to download images or run javascript. So you can reduce the chances greatly with tools for a decent browser and configure some settings.
It does NOT stop hackers using their sites to log your open ip and port if you connect directly to their websites... No browser apps can protect you once you lose the stealth of being incognito online.
"Nothing to hide" can be misleading because its also "Everything to lose"
the problem with these tessters they already know they being tested from a user like this one
For me I just use:
1) Windows Defender
2) Brave browser (or Chrome + uBlock Origin)
Compared to the insane things that were spreading across offices back 15 years ago, I'd say the risk of these things are a lot lower.
Yeah, those early days of viruses..
Why is Defender relying on cloud services to that degree? It should have an local database with signatures for all known ransomware/virus since last update
They want your data one way or another
The reason being is to get the most recent data. If those signatures are stored on your local computer, it would get outdated easily and you must "resync" just to fetch those signatures on a regular basis which would be annoying.
Looking forward for a Dr. Web Security Space review eagerly :)
Its ridiculous that defender is so heavily reliant on the cloud to operate properly. A couple gigs larger installation (or size in general) is a reasonable trade off for better offline security.
I assure you, if you want it to have the same reliability + offline, it won't be "a couple gigs larger"
Norton in early 2000s was so pathetic due to this sort of operations. The distributed database of security software can easily be too large for anyone to comprehend. There has been numerous research papers and PhDs awarded to the study of optimizing these databases alone.
Another benefit, should you consider it, is the fact that these distributed databases use similar technologies to blockchains. If a new threat is detected in multiple systems, an engineer will be notified quite early.
The moral of the story? Don't download stuff unless you're 100% sure of the source and contents.
Very good demo! Defender has come a long way since I dont know.. XP? I used to buy webroot and kaspersky for protection (along with malwarebytes) but I find that I rarely run into threats other than web redirects and pop ups that make you think your pc is compromised. All you do is ctrl alt del and close the browser and clear the history :) Now, Defender is all use for Windows 10 and it has definitely got better since Win10 was introduced. The ultimate protection from these viruses (whether you use it for home or business network joined pc) is to either create an elevated user account to authenticate changes to your pc or get a product that handles threat protection and create your own exclusions of what certain .exe can run on your pc. If its not a recognized .exe, .msi or .dll, it is blocked and only you can approve it. There is a product for that, but I cant post it here :)
I wonder if Windows Defender would detect those malwares under different circumstances. For example, if you download a infected program from the internet versus putting it directly on your computer via pen drive or virtual machine copy paste. Windows seems to be more restrictive of what you can execute that way.
He’s so calm about it if I ever got like a virus I would literally freak out
viruses are ez
This whole video gives me anxiety.
Why?
Put Malware Bytes on a USB stick and restart in safe-mode if a trojan or ransom gets on your PC.
Run Malware Bytes in safe-mode and voila you'll be virus free when it's finished.
@@gavmedia5674 That's not how it works. The damage that is already done (like encrypted files) cannot be undone.
Awesome content! I just started my degree in cyber security and this is super cool to watch!
I keep OneDrive and GoogleDrive from running 24/7 for fear that my PC gets hijacked and ends up syncing the encrypted files with my online synced files
Hell naw it's call a good external hard drive with a lock it you paranoid you want anyone at google looking through your files

Yes, i got ransomed and one drive synced them up to the cloud - so, all local and cloud files were locked .... thank goodness i had a back up that was not connected to the local computer
@@waupacachainolakes8629 Yeah I also have a NAS but I keep it turned off most of the time until I want to do a full backup.
@@waupacachainolakes8629 but I think driver store versions so you should have been ablr to revert it
I'm so confident, yeah, I'm unstoppable today
I didn't know the controlled access option was so good. Thank you so much!
@Lukasz same, what an excellent feature
To remove ransomware disconnect your internet connection then press F8 during start up. This will bring up a menu for the system mainframe, click on safe mode, this will keep the ransomware bottled up and prevent it from doing anything. Then open your O.S. explorer and enter list all, this will bring up all of the files on your computer.
Then scroll through and look for files with the company name, and delete them. There was a file I could not delete until I had deleted the other remaining files. I found their files in four different locations so make sure you scroll all the way through all of your files. Once removed do a restart. I did this on a PC but don't know for sure if it will work on a laptop.
That may help with some "easy" viruses but not with others.
You need to do Windows 10X vs malware. I'm curious to see if any Windows malware can infect it.
It is gonna be hard as the normal x64 and x86 files are not gonna run on Windows 10X so there is not so much malware around.
Was Win10x ever released in some form?
I know some ransomware will be able to encrypt files even in OneDrive but I know MS has tried to make OneDrive security better. I'd be curious how different AV's react if the user is using OneDrive for documents, pictures, etc...
AV's might not do much, but you'll certainly get an email from Onedrive once it detects a large number of encrypted files in it. It'll let you know that signs of ransomware has been detected, and will ask you if you'd like to recover the files. You get around 30 days and a couple of warnings before it finally goes away. Coupled with Defender, a good adblocker and some good old common sense, I don't see Ransomware as that problematic an issue.
@@dvkad in my opinion you download random shit you get what you get
Considering the fact that i have a full updated windows defender, and it couldn't remove a few trojans is quite sad lol (i m talking about my experience tho)
Yeah it's shit at removing stuff
windows defender and avast premium security combined together works flawlessly for me no headache
Seems like the offline test had the various programs fighting each other to encrypt the pc. I wonder if anything would actually be recoverable with that level of infection?
I don't think, files was encrypted and re encrypted several times, also with some unecryped files copy there is no way to known what appened to the files so you can't known what encryption type was used ecc.
lol poor windows defender getting bombarded like that. I imagine spongebob's brain as an office with everything lighting on fire >.
Like in "Squilliam Returns".
So Windows Defender is sad cuz TPSC has has said that it reminds him of windows XP
and that's why he got angry and scored better xD
oh hey windows security

Wut?
Video: Windows Defender vs Ransomware
Comments: Kaspersky vs Bitdefender fanboys
yes everyone is waiting for Kaspersky vs Birdefender
As soon as I found your channel via a video suggestion, I immideately clicked and subbed to your channel.
I also pressed the bell icon and I don't do that. When was the last time I did that, I don't remember. Stay blessed.
Was this an admin account? Wouldn't the results be better if you used a standard account?
it will. you won't be able to run most of them in the first place.
Would be safer in a way but I think the only difference is it would show the escalation process so you could get rid of it ?
Windows defender is pretty decent just don’t click any sussy links or download files off of a unsafe website

@crinaizer It is good enough, but Kaspersky and Bitdefender also provides free products for better protection, if you go through shady sites or doesn't know if a malware is downloaded. Or just a bit of extra protection.
BTW, I use Kaspersky
@@slavboii420 Windows Defender:I'm black I'm trash-
Users Who Use Kaspersky:your tras-

I think for the basic user like me who doesn't download programs, music, files in general, who only browses RUclips, Facebook, Yahoo mail, and doesn't click on suspicious links, windows defender with the Firefox / Chrome bitdefender traficclight extension already it's enough for me. Of course, if I were an advanced user who downloads everything, opens everything that is a file, and yes, I would use something like Kaspersky or bitdefender.
If you want to download and open every junk you see online, Use a Virtual Machine. hahaha

Windows Defender is my ONLY AV on Windows.
I do have Protected Folders enabled also.
So why in the hell is a company like Microsoft taking so long to make their antimalware better?
its hard really hard they are trying it for years for itand still doesnt work fully automatically
Windows Defender became far better in the recent years, and is now placed among the best AV on the market, but no AV is perfect, and pirates improve each year. I personally use Kaspersky, but from my testing, the most determining factor is how aware the user is of is own actions.

harika bir test videosu olmuş.. windows güvenlik konusunda oldukça ilerleme sağladı.. ben w11 22h2 kullanıyorum.. deyim yerinde pcye sinek bile giremiyor.. tebrikler microsoft
Been using Norton's since you get for free with Xfinity but they discontinued that in 2121. So I just been using Windows Defender since I heard of the so call much improvement and Malwarebytes. For a couple of weeks now I notice lag in my computer when running Zoom. The first thing I did was run a full scan with Defender and Malwarebytes and neither one came up with any issues. Then I was thinking perhaps a port forwarding issue and tried just about every thing to try and fix it using the port according to their website ... but still had the issue. Anyway last weekend it was really bad and and this time also effected my browser watching YT. So I downloaded a trial version of Avera and it found 3 issues (not Ransomware, but spyware) after researching the names one was really bad. Avera caught the culprit of the download I made which was software called Driver Hub. Which also installed it at the install location.
Anyway Defender nor Malwarebytes never saw it when I downloaded the file, and never saw it when I installed the the software. Tested Kaspersky also and the same results as Vera ... anyway I want to keep my bank account so I'm not using Defender and went with Kaspersky. Right now there offering a pretty good deal for 5 devices for 2 years for $85.00
@NΙΚΟΣ ΜΑΥΡΙΔΗΣ I'd rather pay 85$ if it means i don't have to deal with the following:

-continue to be able to play games instead of hoping that proton works
Mac, Linux and Windows are all equally able to get attacked. The only reason windows gets hit the hardest is because it is used by most of the market. When Linux gets more popular, so do the attackts.
Hell, some real nasty ones don't even require Wine to get you anymore.
@NΙΚΟΣ ΜΑΥΡΙΔΗΣ That makes no sense, you're implying that Linux is completely invulnerable and that the user is at fault just by simply using Windows because of security issues when, yet again, linux has them too.
Many people who have made the switch to LInux ended up having problems and switched back to Windows simply because of its stability and ease of use.

Leo, have you ever done a "internet based" attack vector? As in possible compromises from corrupt websites, or scareware type popups. Something that an average user would come across while browsing the "web"... or even antivirus vs. phishing/scam emails (especially if a user follows the rabbit down the rabbit hole). I'm trying to find something I can send my users/students to show how to be vigilant against these pesky annoyances. Just curious.
you have about the software. I personally enjoy learning so it was a little bit easier to do it over ti. But you’ll get there brother
Hey Leo, my thoughts are if only 1 malware always gets thru it's pointless shelling out hard earned money on flashy AVs ! Better to back everything to on an external HDD and install the best Free AV imo. I like Comodo FREE Premium with the Sandbox and Firewall but I have reservations about the people behind the company, they don't seem very professional but I like the Desktop Comodo but the Android is a bit wishy washy
Windows never disappointed me ever since.
