Microsoft releases Defender

I wrote about Microsoft AntiSpyware back in May of last year, while the product was still in early beta stages. Since then, Microsoft has changed the name of the application from AntiSpyware to Defender, and after many, many months in closed beta, has finally released it to the public.
Microsoft Defender is a fantastic application and actually works quite well, maybe due in part to the fact that it wasn’t developed entirely in-house, as Defender is the result of Microsoft buying out antispyware company GIANT. Regardless, Defender is quite polished, and for the months that I used the product, I never had to worry about any kind of spyware invading my system. Thanks to its integration with Windows, Defender also blocks popups and keeps you informed of security updates, all for free.
