In June, Russian antivirus company filed an antitrust lawsuit in the European Union against Microsoft. Kaspersky has been frustrated for some time with what it called "underhanded tactics" from Microsoft that were meant to eliminate third-party antivirus competition on Windows.
At the time, Microsoft claimed that it was only trying to improve Windows security. Now, Microsoft seems to have changed its tune, and the company has made some concessions to help third-party antivirus software better integrate with Windows 10 and be more compatible with the latest updates.
