This was so good that I had to write up an article on the main page letting people know about Windows Defender.

For those of you who have downloaded this and ran into a problem with updating your definitions, check out the article for how to fix this problem.

I like it, now it runs as a background service you don't even know it's running.  Took me 15 minutes to convince myself it actually was working.  No more annoying popups when I run reg defrag or 1 off items go into my run once registry eg bootscan with AV.  A full scan is slow about 20 mins but it does look into archives, I don't think any other spyware does that, but a quick scan took 50 seconds.   Nice interface but I can't yet find the mui delete function (cleartracks in MS antispy)

Essexboy, I just noticed that you have your site up now (I think the last time I asked you about it it was under construction), anyhow, I have added it as a recommended link on the main site.

Thanks xp, but of course I'll now have to make sure its updated.  All links and descriptions are currently accurate and I am playing around with a few more programmes before I add them.  If they are no good they don't appear

OK first problem with defender. Got an auto update this morning but failed to install, did a reboot still failed to install.  Rush of blood to the head stopped the defender service in control panel - admin tools - services.  Clicked to install update and it worked.. This may be system dependant and you may have no problem, but if you do try what I did and see if that works..

Yep I like it unobtrusive but beavering away, as an additional I found that when it is auto updating the little castle appears in your sys tray for a moment or two, then gets a green tick and goes away. Neat
