Anyway, Microsoft Antispyware is indeed renamed to Windows Defender. Maybe because it does indeed likes to remove random applications instead of just removing spyware. Or maybe they renamed it to Windows Defender because it defends Windows' by allowing Remote Desktop while any VNC server is very evil. Or maybe they just renamed it because of the bad name in general they were building up. God knows.
Remember: This is the same software that thinks Symantec (Norton) Antivirus is a password stealing virus and corrupts Norton because of that so your precious system will not be protected anymore against viruses at all.
Norton sucks anyway, i stopped using it 2years ago uses too much system resources(Windows Xp SP2 Provides my firewall). I now use AVG free version. it works better than anything i have seen for home pc use AND its Free.
As for Windows Defender compared to ADaware 6 SE, adaware SE sucks. you think windows Defender is bad. Become ICT support technician you will really see how bad Adaware is, the amount of times i've had to fix Machines because Adaware remove SYSTEM DLL's.
As for Windows defender i like it picks up everything spyware are potentially harmful installed programs. E-donkey an stuff.
once you learn how to use the inorge feature life will be fine
Like i have it set to always inorge E- Donkey so after each test doesnt pick it up now
Also same With plus etc.
