    Question about how anti-viruses works


    Hello, I got this question and there was a similar question from another user but sadly I can't find it.Example I had malware, and I also had Windows Security and Malwarebytes.Can the Malware use the anti-viruses to hide itself? Like basically infecting the anti-virus and then using it to hide itself.I don't know if this makes sense, I just thought it was interesting at some point.Bye, have a good night/day!

    :)

    List of Anti-Viruses working in Windows 10 TP


    Thought I'd test one of my spare F-Secure licences on W10 and it's working fine. Banking Protection deosn't seem to kick in when it should but I'll get to the bottom of that. Otherwise all looks good.

    Hello guys,

    Recently, I saw many people asking about the working anti-viruses for Windows 10 Technical Preview, so I decided to create a thread and share the information. Because Sharing is Caring!
    Here is list of some anti-viruses which are tested and found working on Windows 10 Technical Preview. [Note: Some of them might lack in their features]


    • Bitdefender antivirus free edition
    • Mcafee Antivirus Free
    • Avira Antivirus Free
    • ESET Smart Security
    • Avast 15
    • Webroot Secure Anywhere Endpoint Protection
    • AVG Antivirus Free | Might work
