Re: New version of MS Defender - any good
Okay - installed it, updated definitions, and ran a scan (nothing found). Had to use IE to download it - Microsoft would not let me do it using Firefox (even with the extension installed)- the validation 'code' when entered into the box and pressing continue gave me a "this page could not be found - after doing this twice, I opened IE and it worked fine - then shut IE and went with FF again. |

Moncks Corner, SC | What's the deal with Spynet? Is that something I should signup for? What does it really do and does it make Defender a 'better' product?
Thanks
