"Microsoft AntiSpyware" is now "Windows Defender"

only icon ive seen is on my desktop

 

Hi Aie,

Don't agree, beta 2 will be a "different" program by July and until then - as long as MS AS is being updated, and currently it is - users who don't want to fuss with the new version can still run MS AS and as I pointed out, need not have it automatically update to beta 2.

charlesvar--Thanks for the info on the three-day scan nag.

I am a little confused concerning the last few posts in this thread. As far as I can see when you go to the original site to download the MSAS install file, you are now offered Windows Defender. Apparently if you already have MSAS, you can still update MSAS definitions for a few more months. But "Beta 2" for MSAS??? I thought Defender was the new name for MSAS and that there will not be anymore new versions of the latter.

 

Hi Jim,

Sorry for the confusion, by beta2 I meant WF.

Editing my last post:

Should have read: by beta2 meant WD (for Windows Defender).
