![]() If something still happens and bypasses this? It needs to be written about. It has most of the elements of a winner, but it lacks enough polish to actually make it one. there and found a Trojan that wasnt even detected by Windows Defender or ESET. While it used to be terrible, over the past few years, Microsoft has really turned it around and Defender is now one of the best antivirus software solutions at detecting, blocking and. And of course, the one mentioned the most, is common sense (Spot those phishing scams, etc). WOT (aka Web of Trust) is a great community of Internet users that rate. ![]() UBlock Origin, network-level adguard/pi-hole protection, and use of a standard account with system-level things blocked via an admin account = the best. Additional "cleaners" and "install 2 firewalls to protect from hacker man!" are all voodoo and snake oil, fear-mongering at worst, to get you to pay, or use software with built-in ads and data-mining (Everything is worth something), even your day-to-day user logs for statistics/logistics so that the "smart guys working for the big money bags" can figure out how to effectively sell better/what they are doing "wrong". It's "meant" to work autonomously, in a good environment. McAfee and Microsoft Defender have both proven themselves as being good at detecting malware through scanning and real-time protection, but both security suites include lots of additional features that further enhance your online safety. I don't think people realize at times technology, computers, programming, etc. As long as you allow the updates to come in (sometimes, several a day), Windows Defender does a reasonably good job. ![]() Those "Additional features" can slow down a not-so-powerful computer as well. (What better people to protect malicious things from your computer than the maker themselves of the OS?). The detection rates nowadays are almost all the same, same engines, etc. When you buy an additional AV - You are just paying them for those additional features.
