So Andrea tell me, what was the name of the Virus Malewarebites found? Was it a virus or maleware? Was it critical or passive? Did it tell you to delete the regestry entry or edit it back to default? There is so much that you left out of your statement that is relevent.
There is a huge difference in AV and Maleware. AV looks spacificly for code that is used in viruses from its database of code associated with viruses. Maleware software looks for code associated with software that is reported to me malicious and is cataloged in its database of malicious software. The only thing they hold in common is that they bod have their own definition database. The things that MSE searches for is not part of what Defender searchs for. Though because Defender is part of MSE it dose search for the same things that Defender searches for. Look at it this way, take a
BLT. If you take away the bacon, would you still call it a BLT? No it would be a vegitarian sandwitch. That is the same idea as software. MSE is the BLT and is made up of many differnt parts. One part maleware, one part AV. Doese that make since to you?
