      The guide to security on the internet is to not be dumb. If a file is suspicious to you, emulate a computer and execute it there before running it to your actual computer. Do virus scans often, and don’t be fucking dumb downloading stuff. You’ll be safe if you’re careful don’t worry
      (Yes I know some viruses can detect emulators and don’t execute in them but it’s just the safest thing to do if you really need the file and can’t find it in a good site)

      Very true. Defender relies heavily on its cloud scanning ability for detection. With it has a excellent detection ratio. Without it, when it's just using the latest virus definitions update it has it's detection ratio goes way down. But I don't see that as a problem. When am I gonnna be running random or sketchy executables (and from what source if I'm offline) when I have no internet connection. And why in the world would I ever turn off "Cloud-delivered protection" in defender. Well also.. even with internet you're an idiot if you just trust downloading and running executables from any source.

    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.

      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.

      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.

    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 :)

      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.

    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.

    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 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.

    Good test. And good to know that AV is not all powerful. So user must be careful when browse internet or install programs and games.
    I am using Windows Defender and now I added Comodo Firewall. How about testing Comodo Firewall or combo of CWF and WD?
    Last test was 2 years ago, Comodo Internet Security. And most tests show that their AV was not among best AVs out there.

      Common sense is best security, but this kind of security is still better than nothing, and better than it was years ago. Controlled folder access is a good tip, also regular backups would also be a great idea.

    Can you specify under what scenario Defender is sufficient. such as if your just a home user and also could you go over the version of defender they now make for business an monitoring in real time . show us the ins and outs and how effective that is compared to the home version!

    ransomware is completely avoidable. what the heck is going on there? your IT department is not up to the job.. and your rank and file employees have too much computer freedom and authorization. limit their access.. use policies to remove unnecessary USB ports and start educating your users.

    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.

    excellent video (like all your tests) but I have 2 questions. is there any more effective antivirus than windows defender that also includes the folder protection function? or if that is not possible, is there any additional antivirus that can coexist with defender to continue using folders protected by defender and have a better additional antivirus?
