Isn't Windows Defender one of the worst performing AVs?

• commoner 5y ago
  Microsoft/Windows Defender used to perform poorly on tests, but not anymore. AV-Comparatives awarded Microsoft Defender its highest Advanced+ rating in its most recent malware protection and real-world protection tests: https://www.av-comparatives.org/tests/malware-protection-test-september-2021/ https://www.av-comparatives.org/tests/malware-protection-tes... https://www.av-comparatives.org/tests/real-world-protection-test-july-october-2021/ https://www.av-comparatives.org/tests/real-world-protection-...

    When I wrote that comment I had performance in mind.

    In terms of protection, sure, but for actual system performance, Defender is still hot garbage: https://www.av-comparatives.org/tests/performance-test-october-2021/ https://www.av-comparatives.org/tests/performance-test-octob...
