It makes sense—there are plenty of options available. Mwb+defender is quite lightweight and serves just fine for most users. For instance, they can tweak the camera in Resident Evil to avoid nausea by adjusting the close-up distance. Mwb warns me about a potential unwanted program, but I see it differently; I know the development team is responsible hackers who wouldn’t create harmful malware. Defender simply says nothing. Next, I create a mod, upload it, and test it—defender blocks it! Lmao... Check with Mwb. It seems like defender isn’t useless after all; it checks for other things and adds an extra layer of protection.
I recently ran a boot time scan using Defenders and it gave me a pretty strange impression. It only checked a handful of files it considered important, whereas Avast’s built-in option examined nearly every file on the system and uncovered four browser hijackers. Microsoft should improve its boot time functionality significantly. Avast seems to be the only consumer antivirus I’d consider purchasing for beyond malware protection, aside from Malwarebytes—just for the boot time feature alone. The person in the video demonstrated how effective Avast’s free virus scan is at detecting threats. Another impressive aspect was its layered security approach. If a file isn’t found in its database, it moves it to a deeper “deep scan” mode to ensure safety. This sandbox-like method appears to be a unique feature, uncommon outside the most advanced enterprise solutions. I don’t think many antivirus programs offer this level of protection, though perhaps only the highest-tier ones do. Now I use Avast and Malwarebytes, supplementing with Defender’s periodic checks.
