Windows Defender Antivirus and layered machine learning defenses

Will they do anything about its terrible performance? According to [1] the Windows Defender causes a 5x increase of Chrome&#x27;s build times and it delays a process start by 260 ms.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;BruceDawson0xB&#x2F;status&#x2F;940747236614574080" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;BruceDawson0xB&#x2F;status&#x2F;940747236614574080</a>

This is both pretty impressive and pretty scary. Impressive to detect new malware with such a low N. This massively changes the economics of creating malware. Scary now that pretty much any file that flags as suspicious locally can be sent to the cloud for further inspection. That would seem a no go for many corporate clients?

I’ve been recommending msft antivirus to my tech illiterate family over symantec&#x2F;mcafee&#x2F;avast&#x2F;whatever since win7.

One thing I&#x27;m very eager to see is how Defender and Microsoft in general will interact with various third-party AV and &quot;enterprise security&quot; solutions which almost invariably contain rootkit-ish&#x2F;malware-ish modules.

Does it still run as SYSTEM? If so, fix that and come back later please.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bugs.chromium.org&#x2F;p&#x2F;project-zero&#x2F;issues&#x2F;detail?id=1282&amp;desc=2" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bugs.chromium.org&#x2F;p&#x2F;project-zero&#x2F;issues&#x2F;detail?id=12...</a>
