Windows Defender Final

For those people who suffer from spyware, Microsoft have finally released a program to combat this.  Windows Defender, this has been in Beta for what seems an age, I have used this on a few test machines at work and found it to be annoying.

Now with the Final release I thought time to give this a shot on my own machine.  Done a scan and no spyware found, result!  One thing I never liked about the Beta's were the system tray icon that looked like it was a dart board, this has been replaced with what looks like a castle wall.

Will have to try this on a machine that is riddled and see if we can get away with using just one spyware program instead of spybot and adaware.

If you have any p2p software installed have a quick read of the release notes as it looks like it may delete all your files if you save in default locations!
