When I was younger, the standard windows firewall was seen as weak and worth replacing asap with premium or strong free anti viruses, like Avast. What changed to make Windows Defender competitive? It looks like a few years ago something suddenly happened and now everybody on the market has great protection.

There were very few vulnerabilities inherent to programming languages at the time… meaning buffer overflow and you could own anything. The 90s was a wild west for the internet so it just took a long time to flush that bad programming out. 2000s had coordinated attacks, where basically the most professional programmers still knew tricks up their sleeves. Today, its state run hacking. Avast can’t compete and Microsoft is very much in cahoots with the govermnints.
