Is windows defender truly the best antivirus for windows 8?

How do you measure "best"?

It's the one that uninstalls Windows 8 and installs Windows 7 for you.

The anti virus that's the least likely to crash the pc, can detect a virus in a removable disk ASAP e.t.c

Well they all (claim to) do that.
This is a technical forum for programming questions. If you want advice on the quality of different products then search for web sites that offer product reviews.

I hear it's pretty good at detecting and defending systems, though i myself use Avast mainly because i would rather have an third party program protecting me rather then something that comes with the OS.

Hi all, I just wanted to announce the release of Grouper[^], a Windows Store app to help you organize all those app tiles on your Start screen.
If you use Windows 8, please try it out.
It would mean a lot to me if you would rate and review it.
Thanks.

Please stop posting this message everywhere. If you need some code then try writing it for yourself.

I cannot get Windows 8 to remove a device. I have the proceudre fully documented with screencaps Here On SuperUser[^]
Evidently, I'm not the only one with this problem. It occurs frequently enough that I found it again Here[^] on Microsoft's site.
I found that it was described a another place, again with instructions on how to fix it Here[^] which also leaves me with a "...remove failed..." result.
Can anyone who is running Windows'8 tell me how to remove the device ? A video with screen caps would be great. A pictorial made of screen caps would be nice. A written step by step explanation (if it works) would be okay, but what I'm finding is that the written word is becoming less and less effective, in and of itself, to communicate the steps that are required with respect to operating a visually oriented graphical user interface.
At any rate, does anyone know why I'm getting the "Remove Fails" message on Windows 8 ? Does anyone know how to actually remove a device when this behavior presents itself ?

Actually I have asked for Windows 8 Desktop App publishing steps. not the windows 8 metro app. you can check app store that antivirus and other types of software are published in windows 8 metro app store as Desktop app which we can not download from app store rather we need to go to that developer's web site to download and install like desktop application. I am looking for any material to publish desktop app in metro app store.

Here is a blog link[^] that might be helpful.

I have developed an application which uses SetWindowsHookEx to capture keyboard's key stroke and filters some blacklisted words. This works fine in Win7 and Windows8 desktop application.
Now I would like to make a windows 8 metro style app which will also supports same. But in metro app I found that SetWindowsHookEx only capture key events on that application, It can not capture key event of another metro application's or desktop application's.
Can anyone tell me how to overcome this problem ?
|

Realistically you can't. Metro apps are designed to run independently and have no knowledge of the other applications that might be installed. This is one of the reasons that communicating between a store app and the desktop is so problematic.
|
|
|
|
|
But if I use SetWindowsHookEx in desktop application then that desktop application can hook key event of all metro application and desktop application as well? Is there any other way to use it using metro application ?
|

As far as I can tell, no (well, there could be a way but it would be such a terrible hack and real architectural overkill that I won't suggest it). The desktop version has the full power of the win API at its command, whereas the RT version is highly sandboxed.

I may be part of a new small business soon.
The plan at the moment will be to gut the innards of the existing machines, donate used parts, and rebuild with new parts.
The element I've never done before is this: Have enough legal copies of the existing windows operating system(s) so that if/when one computer goes bad, I can gut, reformat, donate, and reinstall another copy on a machine in a legal way that keeps us in good form legally and ethically, without requiring a single-copy purchase; and can do so right there and then on that very day when we need it.
A significant part of this scheme is that we will have real business computers with the apps we need. i.e., minimized crap-ware; quite possibly zero. (Every fully constructed computer that I've seen in the past ten years came preloaded with crapware, to an astounding degree.)
So, what's the stupid way to avoid, and the smart way to proceed, along the path toward...
-- Several (more than 2, less than 15) fully legal copies of windows
-- Clean computers with just the apps we want
-- Ability to reformat and reinstall on a moment's notice.
