The Windows operating system has many features to help protect you from malware, and it does an amazingly good job. Except for apps that businesses develop and use internally, all Windows Store apps must meet a series of requirements to be certified and included in the Windows Store. This certification process examines several criteria, including security, and is an effective means of preventing malware from entering the Windows Store. Even if a malicious app does get through, the Windows 8 operating system includes a series of security features that can mitigate the impact. For instance, Windows Store apps are sandboxed and lack the privileges necessary to access user data or change system settings.
