• Microsoft Anti-Spyware Beta1 Defs. "5849"

  For those of you that may not have upgraded or used Windows Defender, Microsoft's Anti-Spyware Beta1 continues to be supported until (hopefully) the end of July, 2006. I am told the core code of Windows Defender far surpases that of the Beta1 - yet the Beta1 build does an admirable job of scanning for Spyware and other threats in a real-time environment. That said, for those of you still running the Beta1 build may update via the application in order to obtain the latest definition files. No downloads for the Beta1 exist, any longer - please do not contact me to request such, thanks.     Posted May 11 2006, 10:21 PM by siljaline with no comments
