Microsoft Releases Windows Defender Beta 2
View this Thread in Original format
[NFC]Wave
The long awaited beta 2 of Windows Defender, formerly Windows AntiSpyware has now been released.

The new versions sports a new user interface similar to what is found in Windows Vista. The UI has been redesigned to make normal tasks easy, a better warning system and to be less intrusive.

Real time protection and monitoring has been enhanced to monitor more points of weakness in the Windows operating system.

The latest version now supports x64 operating systems and will run on users machines with or without administrator rights, something that was always an issue with Beta 1.

Microsoft's Windows Defender is one of if not the best solution against spyware and adware on Windows machines to date

I think I'll just stick with Defender for my Microsoft utilities ;)

I actually found Beta1 to be very effective. Anytime i got spy ware, or my friends, i poped it on, cleaned stuff up, and the computer ran much much better. i was very skeptical at first, but it worked great.

Lets see if they can keep the ball rolling with this one.

When the hell will google come out with a spyware client!?
