My System

no 2000

There is no 2000 version of Windows Defender.
Do you need one with realtime protection or no?

For some good antispyware programs that work on Windows 2000 take a look here, http://filehippo.com/software/antispyware/. BTW just as sniper9228 said Windows Defender does not support Windows 2000.

Hi caverlyscout:
This program works great with Windows 2000. It will up-date itself. You can also update it when you want, as well. No cost to run and use. Removes tons of junk. It will catch the bug before it causes a crash in the system, in my experience. Very good support at the site.

Take care,
