running processes MsMpEng.exe and MSASCui.exe

[Erwin Michiels]

The processes MsMpEng.exe and MSASCui.exe seem to run by default. Even when
windows defender is closed and active protection is turned off, they keep
running. Even more: if windows defender is complety disabled by unticking
the box "use windows defender" in administrator options, MsMpEng.exe still
stays active. To achieve maximum efficiency, I think these processes should
better be killed upon closing or disabling the application. What's the point
of running processes that don't do anything? Can this be changed in future
updates?

Thanks for the feedback, we already have a bug for this one that should be
addressed in the next release.
