Why Is Huorong Internet Security detecting more than Microsoft Defender?

Question

While using the Huorong Internet Security on it's own,it has been detecting way more than the installed Microsoft defender when compared,and noticed the Huorong Internet Security removes what gets detected, and the M.D.A doesn't remove the same detected files?

Answer 1

The difference in detection rates between Huorong Internet Security and Microsoft Defender could be attributed to several factors, including the algorithms used for threat detection, the databases of known threats, and the specific configurations of each antivirus solution.

Microsoft Defender Antivirus operates in different modes depending on the presence of other antivirus software. If a non-Microsoft antivirus product is installed, Microsoft Defender may be disabled or run in passive mode, which means it won't actively remediate threats. In contrast, Huorong Internet Security may have different detection capabilities or heuristics that allow it to identify and remove threats that Microsoft Defender does not.

It's also possible that Huorong Internet Security is utilizing a more aggressive detection strategy or has a more extensive database of threats, which could lead to it identifying more issues on your system. Additionally, user settings and configurations in both antivirus solutions can impact their effectiveness and the types of threats they detect and handle.

If you are relying on both products, it might be beneficial to ensure that they are configured correctly and to understand how they interact with each other to optimize your overall security posture.
