After hearing complaints from security company Kaspersky, the Redmond giant announced changes to its OS and how it works with third party antivirus offerings. This update, which will come along during the Fall Creators Update, will increase security protections for Windows customers. This includes better methods to warn users that their antivirus has expired as well the ability for AV providers to build in their own alerts and keeping partner in the loop prior to changes as well as allowing them time to review updates in advance and plan accordingly. The Fall Creators Update is already preparing to be a jam packed release. With new features and offerings already lined up from 3D innovations and Virtual Reality (VR) to cloud and file updates. The end goal of this latest move was a bid to get on the same page with Kaspersky Lab and finally bury the proverbial hatchet with the complaints the company had raised in Russia and Europe. Here’s what Rob Lefferts, Partner Director, Windows Enterprise and Security said about this matter: Kaspersky has yet to issue any comments about Microsoft’s strategy changes. Customers deserve the best and most up-to-date protection possible. Microsoft and our security partners share a commitment to keep them safe. Read Also:
