I wonder if they bought the name or took it? |

Should we uninstall Microsoft Antispyware beta 1 before installing the new version? |

It says that current users of MS Antispyware will be notified via auto update, but I would uninstall the old version first personally. |

They took all the cool graphics out, and made it all Microsoftable looking.  |

What in the world is Microsoft smoking?
Windows Defender is missing a lot of options that Microsoft Anti spyware has. And is ugly.
Seems like they down graded instead of up grading.
I am sticking with Microsoft Antispyware for now. Windows Defender looks like crap. |

Love the wording! "No unwanted or harmful software detected"
Wonder if we will ever be able to add what *WE* consider "unwanted"...
EDIT: More screenies.

Well, I'm off to a few "crack sites" to see how well the Real-Time Protection works... 
KAV was faster to the line on that one... next!
KAV is just too fast to see what happens, and no, I will not turn off my KAV tonight!
Maybe tomorrow... when I get bored.

Windows One care will be the All-In-One product, this has been stripped of most of the goodies for that reason.

2 edits | Why is it that when I add something to the Registry like the blocklist Microsoft AntiSpyware would pop up asking me to allow or block but with this new Microsoft Defender nothing pops up.
I think I could get used to the way it looks but will it protect me as good as Microsoft AntiSpyware?

1 edit | This may sound funny but I am strating to like it. It starts up very fast and the interface is very easy to use.
The only thing I am worried about is if it will do just as good or better of a job at protecting my pc then Microsoft Antispyware.
I guess people will be testing both of them. |
