windowsconnected.com— Microsoft has just released Windows Defender Beta 2 for Windows XP. This product was orginally available as Windows Antispyware.

This thing doesn't run in the tray like Antispyware did so it probably isn't scanning in the background or actively monitoring, seems like it doesn't have as many of the features that Antispyware did. Why did I just install this again? Seriously, what happened to the browser restore and the active warnings? Those features were great. Only MS would offer an upgrade that had LESS features than a previous version...
Guys this DLL patch works fine and can download anything from MS website as a genuine XP owner. But I can’t install the Windows Defender. Please help….It says “This computer has Invalid Volume license product key”I tried using different keys using a keygen but still the same. Please help
I am having an Issue with "Windows Defender". I deployed it through a GPO to 150 workstations. We set our WSUS server to update defender. All these users have Power User rights but are not updating. The Update button is grayed out unless your are admin. Will these systems eventually update?
Windows Defender isn't that great. Sure the programmers who build windows would know how to remove malicious programs best. However, it's not going to last. MS is already charging people to use there One-Care program. You would think that if a user forked over $200 for a product MS would be nice enough to give a consolidation prize.

Nothing like paying Microsoft to secure their own operating system!
