      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.

    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 :)

Windows seems to be more restrictive of what you can execute that way.

      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.

    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.

    • @dvkad
      @dvkad 3 роки тому +5

      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.
