Microsoft AntiSpyware Expired?
If your free Microsoft AntiSpyware has expired (December 31 2005 or July 31 2006), there is good news!
There is a newer version, and it also has a new name: Windows Defender (Beta 2)
Microsoft says this about Windows Defender:
Some of the improvements that Defender has over AntiSpyware (other than a better name) are:
- improved detection and removal
- a redesigned, simpler interface
- protection for all users on a computer (not just the administrator account)
- definition updates provided through Microsoft's Automatic Updates feature
If you have the old version, you can download Windows Defender here. It will automatically uninstall your old version as well.
