What I really don't like about Defender and other antivirus products is they'll silently send your files to the mothership to be analyzed, without even letting you know that's happened, or any straightforward way to find out. I understand that's a large source of new malware samples for them, but it's an awful antiprivacy behavior.

Another dark pattern here is that there's an option to turn this off, and I turned it off, only to be nagged weekly to turn it back on! Fuckers don't take no for an answer, until I'm nagged into clicking yes. And the UI acts like this is some security warning, with a yellow exclamation mark and everything.
