Re: New version of MS Defender - any good

Windows Defender is very much a good idea. However, the last Update to Windows Defender was on 5/23/2007

I am very much concerned you have possibly fallen victim to an email going around, purportedly from Microsoft, offering an Update to Windows IE7, the MSRT Tool, and Windows Defender. This is a scam to infect you with Windows XP Antvirus 2008/2009.

Here is one example:

It is not from Microsoft. It is a scam to infect your computer.

Perhaps this link

kind of mislead me into thinking I read "New version".
