Windows 10 preview toughens up security with stronger vetting of antivirus apps
 
Microsoft has unleashed another Windows 10 preview build, with only relatively minor changes, but nonetheless there’s an interesting move on the security front.
 
Build 17672 (for Redstone 5, the update due later this year) has been made available to those testers in the ‘skip ahead’ program and fast ring, and it contains a major change when it comes to how Windows 10 deals with third-party antivirus software (from the likes of Bitdefender or Kaspersky, to cite a couple of big-name examples).
 
Going forward, the Windows Security Center will require any antivirus app to run as a protected process for it to be shown in the UI of the Center. Furthermore, as well as not being displayed in the Center, these apps will also have Windows Defender Antivirus enabled alongside them.

  • "I have a powerhouse desktop which I worked very hard on building. I use it for some pretty heavy stuff, and having antivirus software that will not only secure my investment, but also use limited resources to do so, is a huge deal for me. It simply works. I started using Webroot in July of 2013 and have used it ever since, no matter what the computer might be. It's on my laptops, desktops, you name it - and I know it's going to work."
  • "This is an amazing software package. I do a lot of bench marking and nothing comes close to the performance of Webroot. I wish there were more of an assurance as to always having updated software, but it's alright I guess. Please continue your most excellent support and service. I'D HAPPILY PAY DOUBLE FOR THIS."
  • "I love Webroot! It is very light on resources and, as a result, doesn't interfere with my computer's operation. The frequent updates and scans help keep my computer secure. A wonderful antivirus application that I've recommended to others."
