Windows Defender Final Version Released

Windows Defender is out of beta now, and interested users can get it here. It offers protection against spyware, pop-ups, and something called Real-Time Protection. While there are plenty of other solutions out there, I like Windows Defender a lot.

Users of Windows Defender (Beta 2) will want to upgrade since it will expire at the end of the year.

Some improvements:

•Automatic cleaning according to your settings during regularly scheduled scans.
•Streamlined, simplified user interface and alerts.
•Improved control over programs on your computer using enhanced Software Explorer.
•Multiple language support with globalization and localization features.
•Protection technologies for all users, whether or not they have administrator rights on the computer.
•Support for assistive technology for individuals who have physical or cognitive difficulties, impairments, and disabilities.
•Support for Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition.
•Automatic cleaning according to your settings during regularly scheduled scans.
