Well Shifty, tell me what you think, I like it so far, I was using the
Microsoft Anitspyware, I switched to this today after my place of
buisness told me they were switching to it, comments? concerns?

It's the same product - Windows Defender is just the final name for it.

More info: http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1882440,00.asp

Just FYI. I couldn't stand Microsoft Antispyware, it because a resource hog after a while and I had to remove it. Caused some problems for people I was working with.

I will probably give the final product a shot - it was decent, it did let *some* things get by, but no worse than half the other crap out there.

I thought so, the Newer version is like AVG, you can set it up daily,
my other one didn't, or I didn't know how, lol, seems to have a few
more features than it did before, so far so good, we will see, lol :D

That is the only thing I didn't really like about it either is the lack of adjustments. I have not switched to Defeneder yet, but I am OK with it so far. It has caught a few things for me, but I guess I've nbeen lucky ( or I haven't hit the really strange places), but nothing has gotten through on me. I guess I'll try the up grade. I know it won't work on my one system that doesn't like SP2, so I guess I'll keep Antispyware on it until it don't work no more.
