Anti malware that can detect cracks and flag them as so, but can also distinguish from trojact and malware? Also, that can be configured to don't use too many resources when not required - eviltoast

I was thinking, mbam, have you got other suggestions for Windows 10? Also, is there a good setup for when I’m running games I bought, and I don’t need active scanning of threats? (Especially for legit games that use resources intensively)

    This. Better not install any antivirus (other than windows defender) but ANY malware just a bit more sophisticated than something from a scriptkiddie can EASILY bypass windows defender. So please just don’t download from sites where you can download free games as all of those sites I have seem have malware in all their games. And remember just because you don’t see that there is a virus in your computer most malware just hide and silently mine bitcoin or other crypto and steal your credentials to for example discord

      So any script kiddie can disable windows defender inside a PC with good group policies?. Defender I prefer it hardened, that a freeware antivirus. If you really are considering a security, setup Wazuh with sysmon alerta. A PC/instance with 2gb/vcpu for 3 agents is OK.

      Maybe you can run X process AS other user with less privileges than SYSTEM.
