dl65 dl65,
Thanks for that link.
I guess I will have to check it out.
I wonder, will Anti Spy just quit working someday if you don't switch over? Fordtruckmaniac.....MS Antispyware Beta ........ should work until July 31st of this year ..... I am going to D/l it onto ONE of my other pcs and see how it looks ...... I have read a few MINOR things about it but I think those issues have been corrected . I have D/L and installed it and am currently running a scan ...... I removed MS Antispyware before I D/L MS Defender ...... I'll let you know what I think in a bit .
dl65 Fordtruckmaniac.....Well, I just ran a full scan ......... looks ok ........ There are more setup options than in MS antispyware ........ I don't see any reason not to try it .
dl65 Thanks for the info.
I will more than LIKELY load it tonight when I have more sit down time.
ThanksI'm going to wait until AntiSpy is almost out of BETA days... I installed Windows Defender on a few other computers, and I like AntiSpy more...

Hmmm. [smiley=undecided.gif]
Flame, Any particular thing about Defender you liked less or more than Anti Spy?
Just curious.Well, for one thing, I like having an icon on the System Tray to tell me that it's running PROPERLY. I also like having a progress Window that shows me how much LONGER an update will take, etc. The Defender does not show an update window, and if it takes a while, one might assume the program has frozen. Those are the only major concerns I have with the program.
