Microsoft acquired the company Caligari back in February which was probably best known for their 3d modeling and animation software Truespace which came a long way since its initial release on the Commodore Amiga back in 1994.

Well two days ago Microsoft announced that the new version of Truespace would be free for download for everyone. That's right, all you need to do is head over to the registration page, enter your details and you are ready to download the 130 Megabyte software, 51 Megabyte PDF manual and 132 MB of videos.

Registering gives users not only access to the software but also to the forums, technical support and shared spaces which are valuable for beginners.

One of the biggest chances that has been introduced in this version of Truespace is the connection to Live Search Maps and probably the main reason why Microsoft has decided to release Truespace 7.6 as a free download. Just read the announcement post Announcing trueSpace for Virtual Earth 3D Development to understand the decision.

I'm personally always a bit wary when Microsoft gives away software because they have used their position and this method in the past to gain an overwhelming market share. Internet Explorer anyone?

    For permanent disable defender is if removed complete from system no just change permission folder.

    simpler, load Autoruns (SysInternals)
    – filter “Defender”
    – untag all entries
    – reboot
    nothing has changed since my 1st modification years ago

    I wouldn’t disable Defender imho, it has too many hidden roots inside Windows itself. One time I tried to uninstall it using brute force scripts and then the Onedrive feature stopped working definitely. A reinstallation was needed and since those times I prefer to maintain Defender untouched. It’s a better method to install another antivirus and it will disable Defender in a safer and easier mode (e.g., Avast is the best in this way, and also Panda Cloud Free is good too).

    You can not stop defender from running in background or remove it without some penalty. All you can do is to limit telemetry.

      @borts,

      It’s probably Smartscreen which is preventing WD from being disabled. Get rid of that and the problem should be solved: https://thegeekpage.com/disable-windows-defender-smartscreen/#How_to_disable_the_Windows_Defender_SmartScreen_via_Local_Group_Policy_Editor

    Remove Windows and go for Linux.

      Linux sucks dude. Besides it’s not comparable to Windows, these OSes are in different classes entirely.

        I use Linux as my daily driver. It’s far more stable than Windows. When’s the last time you used Linux, 2010?

Dudebro, it’s no way near as cool as Windows with its hardcoded abilities to make money off the user, bro. Yo brodude man, you’re the coolest dude ever man, bro. Dude.

    Download Autoruns and remove the checkmark from Windows Defender. It doesn’t remove it, but it will never run. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns

    Just use “Defender Control”:

    Per this video,
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLIjr7FyxZ8

    Win Defender, is completly the most succesful free-built in antivirus of Microsoft. Really nice product. Saved my ass a lot of times. Has updated malware database, completly strong defence
    from whatever smart screen disables. Or if you want better and more upgrated (paid) program,
    you can go further. But defender is always on your side.

    Why would one disable Windows (or Microsoft) Defender in the first place?. I consider this to be playing with fire big time. Everybody knows that if one is using another A-V, Defender will be disabled on its own and won’t be in one’s way.

    Why would I want to disable Windows Defender in the first place? It’s a great anti virus in my opinion. Been using it since Windows 8 and and never had a problem or a virus. Why mess with a good thing, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

    How a ridiculous article!
    I am thoroughly stunned.

    Why Should You Disable First-Party Windows Defender?
    I can only think that it is “malice or perversely intention (want you to buy a third-party AV where you can expect a back margin)” to guide invalidation without showing the premise.
    No sane company will use third-party closed source programs (such as AV).

    As I thought, “Ghacks Technology News” seems to be coming to downfall.
