Kaspersky vs Windows Defender 

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)

@@MVC88 who was the other AV? Let me guess: not Bitdefender

@@draculemihawk10 ZoneAlarm by check point

@@MVC88 ok thx Surprised ESET didn't detect it,they are rly good on the 0 day threats

Expected results from Kaspersky when it comes to PUPs

@SAVE VICARIOUS VISIONS why is that?

@SAVE VICARIOUS VISIONS what is your reason to say that..?

ESET needs a lot of preparation just to run smoothly, it's not really ideal for a quick test like this...

ESET? That's at the same tier with Avast Avira AVG. If you want ESET, compare it with these 3. Kaspersky and Bitdefender are on a different league.

What are you using now?

Correct. MS Defender keeps getting better but still years behind in performance (compare CPU usage against ESET).

"They don't want to make decisions about different settings" isn't it because the program isn't allowing you to 🤣🤣 brainwashed asf

Windows Defender is definitely a antivirus I would recommend to tech-savvy people because of this.

That's also his biggest weakness, by not having the user manually scan or have a big "CURRENTLY REMOVING VIRUSES TRUST ME" button, a lot of people think defender actively does nothing lmao

@@xslvrxslwt Most people wouldn't know what to click though

Is it possible to purchase it nowadays? It's Russian software IIRC

@@alexbork4250 yeah i have the same question. I only found some news saying that it is banned in the US.

@@jreyes2464 it's banned in government/military organizations, but not for regular users

@@alexbork4250 smartusers will also ban it

I agree. Same. The best AV.

I think main issue is as stated in the video, Microsoft focuses too much on cloud powered security which is great but not ideal. If they took some time to improve local/offline security as well, results could have been much better.

Correct. MS Defender keeps getting better but still years behind in performance (compare CPU usage against ESET).

*All western anti-virus programs let through malware used by intelligence agencies.*

I like the fact that the Defender works for its intended purpose and don't fuck the system. I mean, the only purpose for an anti-virus is to check mark a stupid bureaucracy at a company. [x] do you have an anti-virus

Can window defender/ window security be trusted to protect me?

Yes, KSN is active. See the tests in the FAQ (pinned comment), it has a test that shows the ransomware tests with those components disabled. Happy new year to you too!

@@pcsecuritychannel It's not pinned FYI.

​@@FFAs What the he meant is the FAQ link in the pinned comment at the top.

@@absoleet It wasn't pinned before .Now it is :)

M$ Defender is not made or does it defend YOU against malware. It only defends MICROSOFT against piracy. It only detects license key generator and crack and other license circumventing software.

Thanks for sharing. Could you elaborate on bit defender creating a decryptor for you? What do you mean they made you a free decrypter? I know what it is I've just never heard of such a service.

​@@squarewheel9113Probably not for him, just that after some months Bitdefender released a decryptor that coincidentally can decrypt his files.

I once heard that there is a theory that some anti-virus programs pick up on certain viruses/malware more quickly than others because those viruses/malware were created by the anti-virus company trying to get more people to buy their product.

How does this make sense for a consumer systems? In what scenario do you see a consumer download 30+ malicious exe packages in one go?

@@syrikii1312 they dont need to download all 30+, just 1 would be enough

@@SummonerArthur Well the purpose of the test is to show how many and how hard it can work with multiple viruses. Isn't that great to test the capabilities of an anti virus?

@@hartraven67 1. Nobody cares. 2. It's ok - keep using shitty antivirus then.

​@hartraven67 Kaspersky is better than your American malware "antivirus"

You're right, but the problem with that features is that it blocks also legitimate software and services.

@@NicolaDeIeso1987 This is bad, but you can allow apps in the Ransomware protection settings.

@@user-fz8os2de6n Which means you will routinely allow every app and will likely allow the malware too. The fact that you can not remove "Documents" folder from the controlled list makes whole "access control" feature unusable.

@@user-fz8os2de6n Defender adds "Documents" to the protected folders and does not allow to remove it from there. "Documents" is where almost all games store their save files, and many applications with long history store their configs there. You would need to allow them all past Defender's protection or they will not work. If you routinely allow all applications you run past the protection, you will allow the infected ones too.

@@BarafuAlbino Windows Defender will notify any user if a program is found, which is already blocked, and notify that it is making a change to the system. It also shows the name of the program and its exact location in a folder.

Windows Defender is better because Microsoft Windows itself has hidden features that you can manage from Group Policy or Regedit.

ruzzian antivirus goodluck

@@alexmashine 🤡

@@alexmashine bot

It doesn't affect the performance, but it doesn't send info to the cloud or receive it. They have a website called Opentip, and any undetected file that is uploaded and detected there by the Analysis will be instantly sent to KSN and Kaspersky will remove the file from the PCs it's on. It's also to check reputation of files and websites.

You have to mention that its only PAID Malwarebytes version. Free version has no real-time protection and will happily let all the ransonmware apps encrypt your files.

@@Shajirr_ Even the paid one isn't that much better. Small company I joined a few years back started using premium MWB and repeatedly got servers ransomwared. I've even got a screenshot of a MWB scan report showing nothing found but the background of the whole system was the ransomware screen.... Went with Trend Micro and completely clean for years so far.

>Surprising to see the lacklustre performance from Defender huh?

​@@SamfisherSam Good to know.

​@@SamfisherSam how many years ago? malwarebytes has gotten like 4x better overtime. This is coming from a Kaspersky user.

Kaspersky automatically disables Windows Defender during Installation

@@uwu_peter No need for two

Windows builtin ransomware protection is a feature on top, which blocks access to certain folders and allows it only for a specified list of programs. It is not being used for ransomware detection. The usability could sink with this Feature drastically if you do not configure it for all applications, also it could limit usability between apps.

Maaaaaan I hope u got some people who provide security in your company....

@@aaaaaaaaaa3222 We are a security company, so our service team also monitors any alerts on our devices 24/7, which is very neat and easy with the MS security portal.

Why would you trust an anti-virus/malware program which is the most targeted one for malware to bypass especially in a server environment?

Ms already improved further of it in some win 10/11 insider builds

less resources? I remember at least 5 times where it hogged the CPU more than the game I was playing, the compiler that was compiling code, or 7zip compressing a folder. but hey, it got better at least

I would love to see a comparison of a antivirus vs "no antivirus" run on two systems ran by a "noob" and a "power user" I haven't used an antivirus for over 10 years and as far as I know I haven't ever gotten anything malicious installed on my computer. not using or "paying" for an antivirus doesn't mean that I haven't ran scans here and there, it only means that I have not used an active antivirus program (other then Windows defender in the last few years). This is actually one of the most common question I get from friends and relative "how do you know that this is safe" my answer is always "I don't know, it just feels safe? that shit looks shady/good?" Literally this Christmas I watched my brother download a movie; file name: movie.exe "dude I think this pirate-bay proxy is bad" "how do you know?!?!" 😅 DUDE it says .exe!!!! "oh lol I didn't see that!, let me download this "cam" torrent... wait why is the sound and picture so bad?" 🤨

@@svampebob007 you could have your data and credentials stolen without traces

@@maxkade9133 Obviously! but I also have my data and credentials stored offsite by (insert brand/company) with traced and user agreement. they are known to sell it to the highest bidder. From my experience, I haven't noticed it... did they (hackers) ever do more harm then the government and or company? Is my info out there? Yes I have a passport and driving license! The government (they) have been hacked countless times. Am I falling for a "hi sir yes, we are your bank, please transfer money, or your data is encrypted" 🤣 "They could have so you should pay us" this is the same scare tactics that the pigs say when they want to defend the war on drugs. No sir! I'd rather have a script kid and or a weed dealer in my neighborhood, than a snitch on my ram! just all in the name of defending grandma that walked into traffic and got hit by Jonny Methhead at 170mph in a 169mph zone without street lights because the budget went to the pigs.

Your PC got faster because you to windows 10, probably with a fresh installation. Avast is lighter on system resources than Windows Defender.

>> 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

Very likely. Kaspersky standard with security, it is the exact same. It only adds more features. Anti-Virus is the exact same.

Would really like this, also please add Trend micro vision one

there's a free version of Kaspersky with the same capabilities as its paid antivirus if interested in that.

Yes, it is like any other AV Windows Defender learns from AI. It learns from samples if a user's device got infected, the virus will be uploaded to Microsoft server and then analyze it, AI will learn the virus and release the update for all users everyday.

The days of 3rd party AVs are far from over lol. Use defender if you enjoy having your files encrypted lol.

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

We will do one next year with more products, more tests and a different format!

@@pcsecuritychannel Thank you for your interest

So true!... As someone says: The largest problem on your IT life is that one that seats in between your chair and your PC, that is the same to say: You, the PC's user and your own mistakes! That said, I also only use the Defender. Native with the OS; no 3rd party additional software needed, it just does the job for your regular PC life. For someone whom just need those more or less 20 websites regularly used for the same tasks, going for the same places, enjoying same subjects like me and most of us, that is more than enough!... Oh: And forgive me to be sort of political here... But: Does one consider Kapersky reliable anymore, once they're from the same land where all should be in line with that single one whom ordered a war in Europe such an year ago?... TBHH: I'd not to send my data anymore to a company on such conditions!... Yeah! Computer safety is not only about to have the best scanner protectiions out of this world. To have your personal data protected in such a reliable way is also key, and sadly Kapersky lets lots to be desired these days!... Have a nice day!...

@@nunagorasi would still use software made by russian people because a thing being russian doesn’t make a thing bad.what matters are the statistics.

@@tezcanaslan2877 that and the west started it with their coupe

@@tezcanaslan2877 thing being russian doesn´t make it bad, but it´s kinda similar to China in this matter right now. Every piece of software from them might be a security threat, especially a one, which core function is to search through user data.

@@nunagoras The best antivirus ever is who is in front of the monitor, if the end user is inexperienced he would be able to infect even a machine that is off 😁 anyway speaking of Kaspersky the "fears" you have being a Russian antivirus are understandable, but I think it's a problem linked more to institutional or corporate PCs and does not concern the PCs of us mere mortals, and in any case only "fears" remain while it is undeniable that (KAV KIS or KTS) is one of the best if not the best ever in the world. Now the war in Ukraine it has rekindled the problem, among other things already raised in 2017 by the US security department, so much so that Kaspersky in response has moved the servers to Switzerland for all users worldwide (clearly excluding Russia) it must also be said that it has even agreed to the analysis of its source code for transparency reasons resulting OK (more than that). I say this only because they are objective data that can be consulted by five on the web. It must also be said that if we point the finger at this software because it is Russian then we must also pay attention to Winrar 7Zip and a mountain of other software of Russian paternity.

SPOILER!

Well, Microsoft took Windows Defender very serious so, it's not a surprise at all, IMO

@@ChrisAzure yes im scared now 😁

Kaspersky would need to be cross faded to lose against window defender

Yet it slows down your pc way more lol
