Hi Richard, Saturday November 22 2008, Richard Oliver writes to All: > Your opinions re Windows Defender please, Richard I've used it since Windoes release it, At first I thought it wasn't updating *.dat files, but it is! And I tested it, downloading viral file and such, Defender deleted the file before the DL. Can't complain about the price either. > -+- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05 > + Origin: Calgary Organization CDN Fidonet-Internet Gateway > (1:342/77.10) -- K Klement Enhance your marketing at http://www.gypsy-designs.com mailto:info@gypsy-designs.com Gypsy Designs Fax: (403) 242-3221 ....

Interesting reading: http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,136195/article.html "...Windows Defender did excel in behavior-based protection, which detects changes to key areas of the system without having to know anything about the actual threat." --and-- SuperAntispyware - Free http://www.superantispyware.com/superantispywarefreevspro.html

Thank you for the responses---most interesting as always. I do use Adaware but I think I will just leave the WD seeing that it does not eat anything !!
