Windows PCs at risk as new tool disarms built-in security

All modern Windows PCs come with Microsoft Defender built in. For the unaware, this tool is Windows’ native antivirus. 

Over time, it has matured into a reliable security tool capable of blocking a wide range of threats. However, a tool called Defendnot can shut down Microsoft Defender completely, without exploiting a bug or using malware. It simply convinces Windows that another antivirus is already running.

The implications are serious. This tool does not break into the system or use advanced code injection. It uses Windows features the way they were designed to be used. And that makes the problem harder to detect and harder to fix.
