Microsoft may turn on Windows Defender for unprotected PCs | |

Microsoft may eventually automatically turn on Windows Defender for PCs that are left— deliberately or not—in an unprotected state, executives said Monday afternoon. Microsoft security officials spoke on the eve of its latest Security Intelligence Report, (direct download link) scheduled to be released Tuesday. As it has been for the past few months, Microsoft’s goal is to move as many of its customers off of the older Windows XP operating system onto something more modern and protected—Windows 8.1, if at all possible. The idea is to minimize security risks to the PC community at large by essentially shutting down the unintentional security holes discovered within Windows XP. Microsoft will discontinue support for Windows XP in April 2014, allowing those holdes to exist, unpatched, forever. | ||
