>disabling windows defender on a normie's computerenjoy getting the blame when they get scammed or whatever
>>107821560PC in question is used to print documents and use spreadsheets, they send receipts by gmail which already scans everything.I've replaced their router with an openwrt router already that runs adblock-fast and has hagezi blocklists going including malware lists. Windows defender doesn't do jack shit besides make this PC useless.
I seriously doubt windows defender has that much impact on performanceMeanwhile getting malware once can give you a mountain of problems
>>107821813its bad, the "antimalware" process launched by defender can thrash your disk so hard, so as to make the computer unusable on older platforms, that apu is pentium 4 tier, so its even worse.
>>107821813>I seriously doubt windows defender has that much impact on performanceit cripples the performance of anything that spawns small threads by the hunders/thousands.for example, I build our project (~400k loc of C) on win10 vanilla and one with atlasos and the first takes ~40 mins, the second ~15 mins.
>>107821813it's actually extremely awful on certain CPUs and definitely noticeable. Have some old shitbox atom-based celerons at work where windows defender pins the cpu at 100% for a good minute straight scanning an installer before it'll ask if you want to run it. Disabling windows defender removes that entire minute wait and goes directly to running it.Basically they wanted to replace this PC because it was god awful to use. It's now usable and doesn't need to be replaced. They won't run any filetype that windows defender would help with.
>>107821537This thing can run Windows 7 or Linux Mint smoothly, why do you cripple it with fatass 10?
