You forgot to mention Kaspersky is really good when it comes to detecting new versions of the same malware for example the new redline malware that recently got released ,Kaspersky was 1 of the only 2 AV to detect the malware and this was malware being pushed as an OBS install file and a lot of people fell for it as it was an ad pushed by Google ( first link most people click on by habit)

Expected results from Kaspersky when it comes to PUPs

Jesus Christ. Is this the last youtube channel to post a 13 minute video and by the first minute it's already straight to the point? No flashy entrance, no ad announcement, no BS intro. NOTHING! ZERO! NADA! I might be biased here but this is totally refreshing for me. I've been using youtube for such a long time and I'm so utterly tired of the same cookie cutter, max ad, max viewtime video model. "After a word from our sponsor!" Man that ages badly. Nothing like seeing straight up to the point precise and clear content!

I think Windows Defender has come a long way. I also think that Microsoft puts more effort into the background function and less on the GUI and control functions of Defender. The reason being is that MOST people want to set it and forget it. They don't want to make decisions about different settings. Also they would likely not go looking for trouble and face a massive bombardment of malware like Leo does !!! 😉 So I think Windows Defender does it's job well given the usual operating preferences of its users. That said, it doesn't excuse the poor GUI and ransomware performance. Also would love to see a head to head of Bitdefender and Sophos, or Malwarebytes and Sophos!! Thanks

Side by side comparison like this and others you have done similarly I think are very useful

As someone who encountered ransomware before, I was really hoping Defender got a lot better on that front. Gandcrab was my first (and hopefully last) encounter with RW. My VAIO died too soon on me so I was borrowing PCs and most of my files were on one HDD. One PC had GC. I'm usually extra cautious with my PCs (never got one infected since high school), but I was obviously not used to using others' PCs. I waited months before Bitdefender came up with a free decrypter. I've been super extra cautious since then, regardless of what AV the PC has. The PC's owner stuck with Defender as he was a user of MSE, which never failed him before. Tbf, MSE was a solid AV back then, and I actually recommended it before.

I know from prior videos that Avira isn’t your favorite, but I have had bad experiences with Bitdefender and I just can’t get Kaspersky to load. There is an Avira file on my computer and the only thing that seems to find it interestingly is when I try to install Kaspersky. Nothing I have tried including the removal option offered by Kaspersky removes it! So….. Could you please do a side by side of Avira and Kaspersky? Is Avira really that bad an option?

Thanks for this video. I was a Kaspersky user on my previous Windows 10 PC, but had to replace my PC with a Windows 11 machine. The guy I bought the new PC from recommended that I relied on Windows Defender and NOT install 3rd party software, as he thought there would be a big impact on performance - he said they'd 'keep fighting each other' - whether that's true I don't know! I was wondering if anyone did notice performance dropping if Kaspersky was installed. I regularly get a malicious e-mail with no content but with something nasty in a PDF. I've noticed that Kaspersky (on the old PC) pounced on it before I'd even noticed the e-mail, but Defender doesn't flag it for me (obviously I just delete it), so I think Kaspersky is a good product.

Would the free version of kaspersky perform the same? :/

I had a trojan on my computer 5 months ago, windows defender found it, but was unable to remove it, then installed kaspersky, nothing was found, so I contacted kaspersky, they said to send me the logs, did it, and then they pushed out an update and boooom, detected and removed immediately. So I recommend sending logs to antivirus softwares if you see anything unusual on your computer, for example a file missing out of the sudden, or window closes, or high cpu usage in task manager for an unknown task.

I was wondering if you can do a similar test with Bitdefender Total Security?

Windows defender is really getting better when it comes to simple malware. However, it takes much more memory in the background. But kaspersky also sometimes spikes up so I guess it's even now. Kaspersky is getting concerning for me now as I see a lot of false positives these days. This was the issue with defender now it's getting same with kaspersky. Defender could lead the charts if they find a way to deal with ransom threats. I personally shifted to Kaspersky because of the same ransom threat issue was hit by one on Windows. So, overall I believe Kaspersky gonna stay behind if they keep this low performance up.

Can you test avira again it had alot of updates and changes

I guess to clarify on the first part of the test. It was the main reason why I switched from „Windows Defender“ and other av's to „Kaspersky“, I remember „Windows defender“ keept flagging „Steam“ .dll files, random software installers as malware. Now to be fair „Kaspersky“ is still having a little bit of problems mainly with „Sumo“ and „Windows“ editing tools. But the false positive ratio is insane. „Smartscreen“ itself is just a 300$ license to not appear. From independent devs I hear.

appreciate this! I was just thinking about it. Microsoft gotta work on the UI to make it stands out.

To counteract the defender ui issues i use windef threat view from nirsoft. Had the same issue of the removed malware being showed up again as current threats even after removing it from Linux environment

I'd been using Kaspersky for many years, but last year during my renewal I decided to see if it was actually still needed or if something was better. Most comparisons were for other paid services but a few actually brought in Defender as a contender which showed it as a great option and even better than several paid services. It's come a long way and as long as you aren't doing anything stupid such as clicking banner ads or random links and you're not downloading every questionable program you find, Defender does seem to be a solid choice. It still does a good job at blocking and notifying. I'll admit Defender could use a UI update and a boot to streamline, but to be fair you did just bombard it was 670 downloads which isn't typical use so even at 10 it's still good.

The important thing is can those AV's detect (unknown) malware at runtime or are we relying on security researches to find threats and add signatures, that's the only thing that makes certain AV better than other (unless if they don't keep their signature lists up to date [which would be plain stupid]).

>> You should test the AV's against not "known" malware How can you test against the "unknown", unless you know it's there; and if you know it's there, then it's already known. The only people who have "unknown" malware (also called zero-day) are the guys who wrote malware themselves, and they're not sharing, at least not publicly. >> I could make a AV myself that would be able to check for malware signatures Easier said than done, there're millions of malware out there with tiny variations between them. It's not trivial to check for malware signature efficiently: not just a simple hash comparison. >> unless if they don't keep their signature lists up to date [which would be plain stupid] You'd be surprise at how stupid a user can be.

@@kien_truong 1. By "known" malware I mean malware that's very well known in the cybersecurity community. I don't mean that it has to be a 0day because that's a type of vulnerability but I mean that they should test it against their own implementations in C++ (see if they can encrypt all the files without av catching in). 2. It's very trivial to check for signatures for AV companies (checking behaviours is [relatively] much harder than checking for a signature). 3. AV (including windows defender) keep their signature lists updated automatically with the server. HOWEVER I was talking about the server not having those signatures in their databases which is what leads to problems And yeah I know it's very easy to obfuscate malware which is why that's what you should check to see when AV kicks in and when it doesn't

Antivirus Tierlist; 2022 - When will it arrive? And you can test BitDefender?

@@pcsecuritychannel Thank you for your interest

Sir Thanks for this awareness!

all the best to you for the new year

Thanks for your nice videos. Could you test the Securepoint Antivirus Pro?

Could you test Kaspersky vs Bitdefender? 😃

I saw it on the channel a few years ago, pretty much irrelevant after a few weeks right?

I feel safe with Defender and Malwarebytes premium working in tandem with the provided exceptions set in both so they don't conflict. That's the only combination of everything I tried that doesn't cause issues. Kaspersky drastically slows down my internet. Bit defender and Eset internet security both hosed my computer. BD I have spoken about before plenty of times, but ESET was maybe 10 months back, after the BD incident and on a fresh laptop that I turned on and installed ESET on. A few weeks later I did a system restore and it corrupted the boot sector. The entire drive had to be formatted, nothing could repair it. I have never seen anything like it. The Malwarebytes support team actually explained to me what happened in a way that even ESET didn't understand lol. Luckily I was (just) in the 30 days and got a full refund but it didn't change the fact of the huge amount of work I now had to do. I am never, ever leaving Malwarebytes again. I wanted an all in one with outbound firewall and Defender disabled, for ease of use, but I have decided the compromise is worth it. It doesn't slow down my system or download speed and it's completely unintrusive. I still have Emsisoft FREE emergency kit installed as, why not? For a third opinion scan now and then and it's not a real-time process so doesn't interfere. Kaspersky has powerful protection but you need to disable the browser protection to stop internet slowdown which defeats half the purpose for me. Malwarebyte's network protection does not interfere at ALL. Ever. I also use their free firewall control to have outbound alerts like on Little Snitch for Mac which was my favourite firewall of all time and probably still is. So yeah, now 3 realtime monitoring apps instead of one, but in a way, having 2 AV isn't a bad thing since one might get what the other misses, but I doubt Malwarebytes would fail on a standard home computer with typical use. I mean let's be serious, these Ransomware tests are extreme, I don't know of real world scenarios where home computers are subject to 20 ransomware samples attacking all at once. Malwarebytes blocked everything on the faux ransomware tester in any case. I recommend others try that out to test their AV, as it's safe and not real ransomware, it's ransomware like behaviour to test the AV. Cheers and a HAPPY 2023 to all!

Have been using Kaspersky, 12 years going good!

Have you done tests on Microsoft Defender? Either for family or business as I would be interested to see how it holds up to another paid AV solution. Where as this test was a paid solution Vs a built in free version. Windows defender did better than I thought but I do agree about the GUI

It is great to see how basic defender stack up against one of the best avs but I would like to see battles of the best ones for example it was said that bitdefender and kaspersky or eset are among the best. Please do more tests of those high tier avs. If not the fact that russia is unpredictable i would use kaspersky. But for now I am looking for something equal/better than that.

To be fair to Windows defenders speed, *usually* you don't download and run 30 ransomwares at the same time :D would be interesting to see a more realistic attack scenario where it's only one at a time and letting defender deal with it slowly

Where can I donate to your channel. This is very helpful for IT administrators

A key reason why one would be better than another is if one has a more up to date library of threats. In my mind this is the major difference between freeware and bought ware. For this to be evident in this test the feed of threats should include ones that are quite recent. If it does, its not clear.

are the core isolation feature enabled as well on windows defender?
