#LinuxDefender : https://github.com/seanpm2001/Linux_Defender/
#Linux #Defender is an anti-virus for Linux, with a #WindowsDefender like #interface (which can be turned off when needed) it clears most common Linux desktop malware, but extends to also include #spyware and, depending on how strict you set it to be, it can block the installation of programs like Google Chrome, and other tracking software pieces (they are spyware) along with any #proprietary software.
It is written mostly in #Python with rule sets additionally being written in #YARA it is aimed at being ported to as many Linux distributions as possible. It is early in development, and is not functional yet.

#Hackers find a way.
This is a scare discover, thankfully now patched, in #WindowsDefender
In case you don't know, *everything is hackable* - literally everything. All it takes is motivation, time, and resources.
There's a gap between your Microsoft E5-bundled security and your total #cyberdefense needs.
Secureworks #MDR fills that gap by extending your detection capabilities and allowing you to fully leverage solutions you've already paid for.

If Core isolation on #Windows11 is really that important, why would it turn itself off?!

Wife complained her new Asus #ROG #gamer #laptop was slower browsing than her 5-year old HP laptop and wanted to return the new one.
Wow - free 1-year of #McAfee #TotalProtection is a total performance killer.
She went 10 years with #WindowsDefender without issue, so hoping for another ten.

"It took over 5 years, but Microsoft has finally fixed a bug that caused Windows Defender to drain CPU resources when Mozilla’s Firefox browser is active.
In 2018, Mozilla staff reported that #Windows 10’s built-in malware-detection program caused CPU consumption to top 30%. "

Espechally since 3rd Party AV on #Windows is always a malware-like #KernelHack and worsens #ITsec.
If one doesn't trust #WindowsDefender they should not use Windows at all - period!

Are there any free and #ScreenReader accessible #antivirus tools for #Windows besides #WindowsDefender, #Avast and #AVG? I'm not counting #Malwarebytes here because its free version is far too crippled. #accessibility #cybersecurity

I went to install the currently free 'Halo Lite' VST synth, but Windows Defender threw up an install warning saying it was unrecognised and therefore could be dangerous malware.
Disappointing.

In the end, the whole thing was deleted by "Everything" and "IOBitUnlocker" and I could restore the Windows Defender halfway. Kaspersky is still displayed in the "Control Panel" and can not be deleted there. Therefore, keep your hands off this AV. I have never experienced anything like this!
2/2

:ms_clown: Soo. Where do I start. Yesterday (31.12.22) I downloaded the AV (antivirus) Kaspersky Free due to a supposed virus. What a mistake the whole thing was. The scan etc. ran totally fine, Kaspersky found nothing and that was the end of the matter. So I wanted to uninstall the whole thing today. And Tada, it did not work. Apparently KS eats so deeply into the OS that you can not uninstall it. 1/2 (Read more down below)
