    Windows Defender

    That seems to be pushing it a bit :)
    Methinks there is a lot more to defended against than that quoted above.

    To my mind the program title gives entirely the wrong impression to potential users.

    At first glance this seems to be a blog by someone affiliated with Microsoft, announcing a forthcoming updated version of Microsoft's AntiSpyware. Or is this the erroneous impression the author is trying to create? It seems an unusual channel for MS to use to announce something new. I wonder if "jasong" still has a job.
    I was aware that MS was planning to amalgamate OneCare and Strider Ghostbuster (Rootkit remover), etc. with MSAS. Is this really something new?

    Hey Jim, well the name is new; I had a good laugh over it. As with any product, we'll see how good it is.
