Tbf windows defender is pretty good.
It has to be, Otherwise Windows would have succumb to microsoft's antisecure culture by now.
Anti-secure culture? Things have changed a lot since the days of Nimda, SQL Slammer, etc.
It is fucking horrible with false positives though. RIP if you have a Kali ISO sitting on one of your drives.
That and the Antimalware service executable gets hung up and chugs 30-50% of your CPU and RAM and won't stop.
It's way too reliant on their cloud infrastructure though, causing it to detect and react to malware slower than other solutions and it turns to shit the second the network disconnects. The PC security channel on YouTube has some good analysis of it.
To be honest, for most users, if they're not on the Internet; it's not that big of a deal for their antivirus to be less effective. Most threats come from being dumb on the web.
