However, it could still take many months or years before the attack and specific Defender bypass would be discovered.
Microsoft would eventually learn about those new attacks and protect against them, as other antivirus companies typically do when they learn about new attacks about which their antivirus wasn't previously aware. To make their malware run on Windows machines, attackers would have to first learn how to bypass the Defender protections, otherwise their malware would always be blocked as soon as it landed on users' PCs. Making Windows Defender the default antivirus also meant that it became the malicious actors’ primary antivirus target. One of the issues was that other antivirus companies didn’t like that Microsoft was making them obsolete, because before long, most users may learn that they don't need another antivirus to protect their PCs. This meant users wouldn’t need third-party antiviruses anymore (in theory), which inevitably brought its own set of issues. When Microsoft launched Windows 8, the company also shipped it with the Windows Defender antivirus (previously called Microsoft Security Essentials) by default.
