Why did the antivirus market change so drastically?

1.38K viewsOtherTechnology

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.

Virus changed ;

in the past the goal was to either destroy your file or try to make you pay a ransom. So to stop you from using your PC.

Now, it’s better for pirates to get data, so they don’t want anymore to break your computer, they want to send a spyware.
