Re: Why does Windows Defender Get such a Bad Rep?

WD worked fine for me with Avast and I also used it with WinPatrol. Scotty is good at those pesky startup entries. The only other viable alternative for free is Spyware Terminator and I just haven't warmed up to it yet.

With WD, I didn't join the Spynet, (maybe they should change the name Lol) but tweaked the program a little. If you use WD, I would advise using other good and free on-demand scanners regularly. SuperAntiSpyware, A-squared and AVG are all good. Even better, run your browser in Sandboxie and scan only occasionally.

Cheers
