I would take these "AV testing" sites with a grain of salt, since it's obvious that a lot of these testing sites get paid to give good reviews and ratings. Not the first time and certainly won't be the last.

Most of these "AV testing" sites are usually biased and usually paid off by the AV company. A reason why I don't trust them and use what I know works from experience, which is Windows Defender.

I haven't gotten any updates today?

You are probably using the basic Windows 8.1 edition then, since the basic version doesn't include GPEdit in it. I'm using basic edition and I get this when trying to run it:

Have had it installed since 12/9 and have not had any issues that seem to have cropped up according to Google search on the KB. No errors, no nothing. Windows still working like it should be.

You're welcome, glad to be of service. :)

Got these along with the Catalyst Omega drivers from AMD website earlier today, works like a charm and my read/write speeds have gotten a boost over the 14.9 chipset drivers. :)

The two optional ones just supersede others, as I mentioned in my post.

Save this code as a .vbs file, like Defender.vbs: set objShell = createobject("wscript.shell") objShell.Run("""C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\MpCmdRun.exe"" ""-SignatureUpdate""") , 0 1. Control Panel > System & Security > Administrative Tools / Schedule Tasks 2. Right click Task...

Description of Software Update Services and Windows Server Update Services changes in content for 2014 KB3006178: November 2014 MDM client update in Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1 The other optional one I got is KB3013769: KB3008188: November 2014 Windows Update client improvements in...

Loving the new Omega drivers by AMD, so much performance boosts all over the place! Even the AHCI driver has boosted my read/write speeds by a bunch.

Haven't really noticed, but then again I run a .vbs file in task scheduler that will check for/update definitions silently for me every 5 minutes.

What version of Java are you using?

They remain installed even if you unpin them from start screen and will continue to get updated automatically.

I do believe thats the app for the Sports live tile, which if I remember correctly will update itself automatically when the app gets updated by Microsoft.

I don't use third-party AV anymore, especially on Windows 8. Been using Windows 8 Defender since day 1 of development.

This is just one weird update, honestly. I decided to have Windows Update check for updates again and reinstalled this update and afterwards my system is still running like normal. No increased boot/restart times, no system performance cripples....weird.

Did you recently install the optional update KB3000850 by chance? http://www.eightforums.com/windows-8-news/57241-optional-update-kb3000850.html There appears to be a problem randomly happening after installing this update where Windows won't load to the Start Screen/Desktop for some people...

About as safe as anything on the internet, which is never 100%. Even if not, a mere keylogger can easily grant a third party all your cloud storage account information. As others have stated, it's best to use a CD/DVD/External HDD/USB flash drive for sensitive information. I don't use cloud...

Was previously using 14.11.1 Beta due to a problem with Catalyst crashing in 14.9, got the update for 14.11.2 and been using that since a few moments after it was put on AMD website. Working like a charm so far. I tend to not use beta drivers, as AMD can't be held responsible if somethings...
