As Ransomware viruses began to appear rapidly and spread, such as WannaCry recently, Microsoft decided to take Windows PC protection to a whole new level. They plan to do that by upgrading the Windows Defender antivirus, which comes with Windows, by adding artificial intelligence that uses 400 million computers to protect against viruses!
The company says the Fall Creators Update for Windows 10 OS will allow users to take advantage of cloud-connected protection under Windows Defender. That way, every Windows 10 computer user will have protection against such viruses almost instantly thanks to a network that will be built from computers that also use this type of protection.
This kind of protection system will prevent Ransomware, and similar, viruses as soon as they appear because when a minimum number of computers report a virus, that information is sent to everyone else and the antivirus starts working and removes the virus on other computers.
This protection will be integrated into Windows Defender called "Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection" (very creative) and will use Machine learning to detect and prevent viruses from spreading rapidly.
As CNET and TNW have learned, this option will be available only for Windows enterprise users for now, and whether it will be for ordinary users as well - they are waiting for a response from Microsoft.
In my opinion, this approach in the fight against new dangerous viruses is logical and I think it will be effective.
