Re: Worth nothing
Of course it can, but that doesn't change the point that the offer to show code is meaningless. I still think using Microsoft's AV is the best solution - they already control the OS code so if you can't trust them you're already screwed.
Does other AV software really work better enough that it is worth trusting another company with that type of extremely low level access? Despite all their bullshit about having "AI" capability to detect threats before they become known, in practice if the signature isn't in their database yet when the malware arrives it'll get you. Unless other companies are significantly faster in updating the signatures I don't see why you'd want to go with a third party for AV software.
At least Microsoft is less likely to detect a system file as malware and quarantine it, which occasionally happens with the others.
