  Windows 8's built-in AV to be security of last resort
Time: 04:17 EST/09:17 GMT | News Source: Network World | Posted By: Robert Stein

The new operating system, which last week reached its final public milestone, includes security software, dubbed "Windows Defender," that combines characteristics of both that anti-spyware program of the same name and the free Security Essentials, the antivirus program that until now has been offered as a separate download.
