That is not entirely true, for ransomware your permissions are enough for them to encrypt your files. Windows defender is getting there, but I am not sure it is quite there.
- nfriedly 3y agoI'm with the grandparent here, but want to chime in that backups are also important. If all my files got encrypted, I'd only be out a couple of days time.
- TillE 3y agoSmart ransomware will wait weeks or months before revealing itself. So you'll have been backing up a lot of encrypted documents, and your last clean backup may be quite old. It may be totally gone if you're rotating quickly. But I essentially agree that Windows Defender is about as good as it gets. It's not perfect protection, but neither is any other product.
