The dispute arose from the new changes Microsoft introduced in the Creators Update that made Windows Defender the preferred security tool for Windows 10. The Creators Update removes some third-party security products from PCs that upgrade to the update. For Kaspersky, that means exposing users to security risks. The move also aims to force out security vendors, according to Eugene Kaspersky, founder and chief executive: Kaspersky further lamented that Microsoft automatically deactivates all security software it deems incompatible without warning. Microsoft would then install its very own Defender antivirus. He added: Kaspersky has temporarily lifted its complaints against Microsoft to create more time for talks between the two companies. The security vendor says it will ask the Redmond giant to make specific changes to the OS before escalating the complaint to the European Commission. At the moment, Kaspersky says the company is satisfied with Microsoft’s efforts to be more inclusive of third-party antivirus products for Windows 10.
