Το Windows Defender σύμφωνα με την Microsoft έχει εξελιχθεί πάρα πολύ στα τελευταία builds of Windows. Of course, tests by independent companies show that software always in the last positions. Microsoft, however, continues to tirelessly praise it. Today the company has published an in-depth analysis which details how it can block its super software, completely unknown malware.
Microsoft reports that Windows Defender only needs 10 seconds (the maximum) to analyze a malware-infected file that has never been released before. Microsoft antivirus will not only protect this user but will submit the infected sample to protect everyone who uses Windows Defender.
The company emphasizes that the Cloud is what makes Windows Defender react so quickly and effectively in the event of an unknown malware, explaining that while inspecting files for potential infections, it also prevents possible malicious behavior in the systems of all Cloud users.
As described in the infographic you can see below, when suspicious files are detected, they are subjected to the cloud for an in-depth analysis. Once the cloud determines that the file is unknown, it asks for further analysis. 
The file is automatically uploaded to Microsoft cloud systems that process it using mechanical learning.
Το Cloud στη συνέχεια δημιουργεί μια υπογραφή (signature) και τη στέλνει στον πελάτη, ενώ το σύστημα των Windows 10 αποκλείει το αρχείο και από το σύννεφο αρχίζει να προστατεύει όλους τους άλλους users of the operating system.
The whole process takes less than 10 seconds, and according to Microsoft it offers full protection once cloud analysis is enabled from the Settings app.
"When enabled, Windows Defender AV locks suspicious files for 10 seconds by default while querying the Windows Defender Cloud AV protection service. Administrators can configure Windows Defender AV to extend the timeout period up to one minute to give the cloud time to further analyze and apply additional techniques to detect new malware," Microsoft says.
This feature is available only in the latest version of Windows 10 Creators Update, which will be released in September.
