  • Kaspersky will withdraw its antitrust complaint against Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) in Europe after the company agreed to change anti-virus notifications in the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.
  • Kaspersky complained that Windows upgrades disabled its anti-virus software so that users would instead turn to Microsoft’s Windows Defender.
  • Microsoft admitted that while updates did prompt users to install a new version of third party anti-virus software, the update would disable old versions that weren’t compatible.
  • The upcoming Windows version will allow notifications from third-party anti-virus apps so that users know as quickly as possible that the product needs updating.
  • Kaspersky statement: “The company is satisfied with the proposed approach by Microsoft to address the warnings issued by the Federal Antimonopoly Service (NYSEARCA:FAS), and its implementation roadmap.”
