To their credit that's one more page than I've scanned
I'm really more of a skimmer
They are literally the reason I finally abandoned Windows completely. And I am very thankful to be on Linux without an AV slowing down my machine.
That's exactly why you tell Defender to keep their greedy fingers out of specific folders and install specific things to dedicated paths.
Let Defender do its thing protecting critical system paths and don't run any executables you don't trust. Defender never touches anything I don't want it to touch and runs rampant on any anomalities. This unfortunately also results in things like Tor browser being flagged and removed randomly happening sometimes. Heuristic analysis is not perfect.
Then again, unless you've gone through hash checks, certificate verification for signed software and in the worst case decompiling your software to make sure it doesn't do anything fishy, you're always taking a risk.
The Linux ecosystem arguably has way better systems in place foe software distribution than "just run this .exe, trust me bro". But common sense goes a long way within Windows.
Windows defender also slows down your system a lot. When I have high CPU load you can bet that defender is at least 25% of that.
I'm honestly surprised that they don't pad their stats!
I'm surprised it doesn't say "1 pages", plural, meaning they took the effort to handle the edge case where only one page was scanned instead of multiple or zero.
They might have.
I used to joke that John McAfee left every room by screaming, "MCAFEE RULES!" and jumping out the window.
I miss that crazy sonofabitch.
Now all that's left is this.
Not even, McAfee got bought by Trellix and they renamed all the products.
also, thats EXACTLY the kind of thing I dont want you to do.
They sure will miss stealing all your data and scamming you with their bloatware.
