Windows 10: Windows Defender ⩼ outros antivírus

Resumo do Artigo Acadêmico “Evaluating the Necessity of Third-Party Antivirus Software”

O autor Erik Baker, neste artigo, busca determinar se é ou não necessário e benéfico instalar antivírus pagos produzidos por terceiros em computadores cujo sistema operacional seja o Windows 10, considerando que este Sistema Operacional já vem, por padrão, com o Windows Defender Antivirus, produzido pela própria Microsoft, instalado e ativo.

A conclusão é de que os antivírus pagos produzidos por outras companhias têm sim desempenho melhor, pois impactam menos as atividades dos usuários, em alguns segundos, e oferecem mais meios de detecção de atividades maliciosas.

Desenvolvimento do estudo

Para chegar à conclusão acerca do impacto sobre as atividades do usuário, foi empregado o software Futuremark PCMark 10, que simulou o uso do computador por um usuário humano em máquinas virtuais idênticas, instaladas na mesma máquina física, cada uma com um software antivírus diferente. Foi então medido o tempo em segundos para executar cada atividade planejada. Já para comparar os meios de detecção de atividades maliciosas, foi consultada a documentação sobre cada antivírus, isto é, sites oficiais e fóruns de suporte.

Foram selecionados 5 antivírus produzidos por terceiros, a saber:

1. Symantec Norton Security Premium;
2. McAfee Total Protection;
3. Kaspersky Total Security;
4. ESET Smart Security Premium;
5. BitDefender Total Security.

Inteiraram 6 somando-se o Windows Defender Antivirus.

Os critérios de seleção dos antivírus foram:

1. não poderia ser gratuito, pois o Windows 10 não é gratuito, e consequentemente o Windows Defender Antivirus também não é;
2. o antivírus precisava fornecer um período de avaliação gratuita de pelo menos 30 dias, para que os testes pudessem ser realizados;
3. o antivírus precisa ser mencionado na mídia, de forma a garantir sua relevância, o que indica potencialmente investimento financeiro suficiente para se querer compará-lo com algum produto da Microsoft.

Os softwares empregados no benchmark foram: LibreOffice v5.2.4.2; Firefox v53 beta; e Chromium v55. Foram escolhidos 10 dos 50 testes oferecidos pelo Futuremark PCMark 10, isto é, apenas aqueles que medem os tempos de carregamento e de salvamento dos programas.

Os meios de detecção comparados foram: assinatura, nuvem, comportamental, e heurística. Destes, o método de assinatura é o único não empregado pelo Windows Defender Antivirus,ao passo que é usado por todos os outros. Três dos cinco antivírus produzidos por terceiros provêem mais métodos de detecção do quê o Windows Defender Antivirus: Kaspersky TotalSecurity, ESETSmart Security Premium,e BitDefender Total Security.

Oct 19, 2021 - Windows 10 KB5006670 update breaks network printers – how to fix it IDG Tech Advisor.

Windows 10 is suffering from yet more printer issues. Many people will have been eager to install the KB5006670 update from 12 October – it fixed a total of 74 vulnerabilities, including one that had already been exploited. However, a new problem has arrived alongside it. This bug affects network printers, preventing users from printing wirelessly using this method. Despite following the usual steps, ‘0x00000709’ or ‘Element not found’ error messages have often been appearing. It’s important to note that not all Windows 10 devices are affected, but it does seem widespread. Printer-related issues have plagued Windows 10 in recent months. They primarily relate to the ‘PrintNightmare’ vulnerability, but there have been other problems concerning the printer spooler - both can be used to gain remote access to affected devices without the user’s permission.

Oct 20, 2021 - KB5006670 for Windows 10 is having quite a few issues, some unconfirmed GHacks.net.

Users are reporting however that network printing is not working correctly, and that they receive errors such as "0x00000709" or "Element not found". The issues appear to be related to Microsoft's ongoing attempts to deal with printing related vulnerabilities that are commonly known as PrintNightmare. The issues are exploited actively and common solutions, such as uninstalling the KB5006670, will make the system vulnerable again to these attacks.
