The AV solution sends memory dumps to Microsoft.
- agentdrtran 11y agoDoesn't that kind of make sense though? I just turned off Bing integration and the AV sending memory dumps makes sense if they want to improve detection.
- rbanffy 11y agoI imagine Microsoft will eventually amass a humongous porn stash from those memory dumps. You can hope it's anonymous, at least. ;-)
- Asmod4n 11y agoIn older versions of their AV solution you could choose what to send to Microsoft, down to even not sending where the File is located, just what it detected. There was not even a option to send Memory Dumps. Now its all or nothing.
- marcosdumay 11y agoExcept that "memory dump" means anything you have, and text typed at the browser includes most of your passwords.
- ionised 11y agoTurn off Bing integration and SearchUI.exe still attempts to make connections to Microsoft servers even though it should be operating completely locally. I blocked it with my (third party) Firewall, which I shouldn't have to do.
- UnoriginalGuy 11y ago> The AV solution sends memory dumps to Microsoft. Both error reporting and Windows Defender asked you if you want to upload additional information (e.g. memory dumps).
