After applying Microsoft update KB2781197 to a Windows 8 computer, the Symantec Endpoint Protection client installer fails

Fix ID: 3123310

Solution: For installations on Windows 8, removed the option to enable/disable Windows Defender after install, as this is no longer supported. Windows Security Center (WSC) will automatically disable Windows Defender when Symantec Endpoint Protection registers with WSC.
