Using a computer without anti-malware software is not a good idea. This is why Microsoft integrates Windows Defender as a vital feature in Windows 10.

You probably know that Defender – and third-party applications like this – provide a critical layer of protection against threats such as ransomware and cryptomers. What you may not know is that they can also introduce new security risks.
This is why Microsoft adds a sandbox mode to Windows Defender. The sandboxing of an application keeps its activities isolated from the rest of the software installed on your computer. If there is a problem, the sandbox acts as a kind of force field and prevents the spread of damage.
Sanboxing is not a novelty. It is likely that you are already using an application that runs in a sandbox. Google Chrome has been in sandbox mode since 2008.
It makes him very, very It's hard for hackers to do significant damage by attacking Chrome. Even though they may find a feat for the browser itself, they still have to find the Chrome sandbox. Without this issue, there is no way to directly attack the computer operating system.
Google has changed the game for browser security by putting in Chrome sandbox. Microsoft did the same for anti-malware applications by Windows Defender.
What's the problem?
Anti-malware applications need a thorough access to your operating system to do their job. They need to be able to see what is going on behind the scenes to detect and neutralize malicious code.
Some anti-malware applications also offer protection against browsing. To secure your browser, they need full access to all the data you download and download.
When suspicious activity is detected, these applications download what they have discovered on a remote server for analysis.
It's not hard to see how a weakness in an anti-malware application could be disastrous. A hacker who compromises your application of choice could scan your files, monitor all your Internet activity and steal your files silently.
As many security researchers consider it as an antivirus or anti-malware software. This is a backdoor that you install with full knowledge of the facts and in which you trust.
Microsoft has ensured that hackers abuse this trust and sneak through the back door.
