In recognition of this landscape, Windows 10 Creator's Update (Windows 10, version 1703) includes multiple security features that were created to make it difficult (and costly) to find and exploit many software vulnerabilities. Mitigate threats by using Windows 10 security features document that discusses the many built-in security features for that earlier Creators Update and which are enabled or require configuration in a business environment. If so, you've already installed the most secure version of Windows ever created, which though few understand what's truly "under the covers" inherently contains many security protections that don't require the use of Windows Defender to enable. So far, I'm assuming you have created a Windows 10 virtual machine with at least the Creators Update from spring of this year and patched it up to the current date.

You've learned a lot here already about the difficulties involved in the type of testing you are attempting, but so far no one has discussed the deeper issue of the ability to find zero-day malware that the AV under test is able to detect. Windows Insider MVP 2017-2020 Microsoft MVP Reconnect 2016 Microsoft MVP Consumer Security 2007-2015 Unified Network of Instructors and Trusted Eliminators (Malware Removal Expert) As noted above keep in mind that if using a virtual machine, not all malware will work in that environment.

RISK so you may want to conduct your testing on a virtual machine or a test computer instead of your primary system. There is no guarantee this type of testing will detect all types of malware threats. Malware no longer avoids virtual machines.So just because you test a program in a VM and it does not behave maliciously.that does not necessarily mean it is not malicious. This is a deliberate technique to make analysis/detection more difficult for security researchers who use VMs to study infections in order to understand the attack methodology used and develop disinfection

When detected as such, the malware is able to change its behavior by not runningĪny malicious code which can infect the operating system. Malware writers have been able to create malicious files which can detect if it is running in a VM. Not all malware will work in that environment by intention.
