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.

Everyone is talking about how Windows Defender is better now, and don’t get me wrong, it is, BUT there’s also the fact that in the wild west days of the internet, people went to *far more* unknown sites. Now something like 90%+ of internet traffic flows through 5-10 giant conglomerate sites, and the opportunity to spread malware is far lower. It’s why phishing has become a far more popular means of distributing malware and harvesting information.
