So Windows detects one of the most secure browsers ever as a virus, yet ships with the most insecure spyware modern browser that it doesn’t let you delete? Something isn’t adding up here. What is it detecting anyway?

It’s likely due to business rules. We block Tor and all the privacy browsers at work.

I guess it kind of makes sense, however, wouldn’t it make more sense to just have these restrictions on Enterprise versions? To have settings made for corporations in home/pro editions further shows Microsoft’s laziness. Thank you foksmash for your insight though, I am not familiar with a setting like yours.

Your idea is quite logical. That said, I think businesses are their primary target so that could influence such decisions. I’m really just guessing since I don’t work there but I can understand their reasoning if that were the case.

Well I liked your inference, it is very coherent. It is probably the case.
