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.

You'll find you can download updated definitions every day with Firefox. It's just the validation required to download the program itself that seems to be a problem with Firefox.

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
Robert
