Windows 8 built-in killing software will automatically close

  
after third-party killing software installation



Computer store news Windows 8 operating system will be bundled with Microsoft's anti-virus software product Windows Defender, but if users install third-party anti-virus Software such as McAfee, Symantec and AVG, Microsoft's anti-virus software will be closed, using only third-party products.

It will only start if the system does not have third-party security software protection or third-party software expires. The move is not a concession from Microsoft to third-party anti-virus software vendors, but to please OEMs. OEMs have long bundled third-party anti-virus software on the machines they sell, and they can get kickbacks when they buy anti-virus software. Microsoft bundled anti-virus software threatens the profits of OEMs. If the user's anti-virus software expires, Windows 8 will warn the user that it will install and launch Microsoft's Windows Defender 15 days later.
