    Windows Defender Released

    Microsoft has released the final version of its Windows Defender anti-spyware utility. Windows Defender is a product of the Microsoft acquisition of GIANT Software. Previously known as Windows AntiSpyware, after a two years beta period it's now available for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 under the name Windows Defender. Windows Defender incorporates Real-Time Protection to monitor systems for spyware activity, automated spyware removal with scheduled scans, full integration with Internet Explorer 7.0 and automatic spyware definition updates from Microsoft. Windows Defender is available freely to all customers running a genuine copy of Windows. Microsoft has also announced that customers will each be allowed to report two support incidents for free with Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.

    Better free alternative to microsoft defender?

    Windows Defender, Bill?

    Yeah. Same thing. Definitions to stay up to date on threats of course, but thats really just a list of tricks and signatures.


    You don't have to be. You just have to be smart enough to break their shit. You can take it apart and reverse engineer it and marvel later (I was impressed by a clients just recently). It's not hard to be up to date enough to keep malware a.) mostly off your machine in the first place and b.) limit it's damage when it does appear to your machine via network and best practices.

    Some may call my approach inconvienient, but it DOES work.

    Better free alternative to microsoft defender?

    I'm the unofficial computer guy for my family.

    Up until now I have used microsoft defender or security essentials on everyone's computers.

    I have tried to teach them how to avoid getting viruses but they still end getting infected.

    It seems defender just isn't very good and today was the final straw.

    My aunt called me because her computer was not working and when I looked at it it had a full blow ransomware virus.

    The virus was running with the message demanding ransom up on the screen and defender had done nothing to stop it.

    So now I'm here asking if there is a better option?

    I would prefer free but if i have to go with something paid i'll make my family members pay for it or tell them to stop calling me. *Laugh :laugh:
