Straightforward operation and thorough removal technology. Eliminates detected spyware easily at your direction. If you inadvertently remove programs that you actually want, it's easy to get them back.


Scheduled scanning and removal. Runs these processes when it's convenient for you, whether it's on-demand or on a schedule that you set.

Improves Internet browsing safety


Helps stop spyware before it infiltrates your computer. Offers a continuous safeguard designed to target all the ways that spyware can infiltrate your computer.


Works without distracting you. Runs in the background and automatically handles spyware based on preferences that you set. You can use your computer with minimal interruption.

Helps stop the latest threats


Expertise you can rely on. A dedicated team of Microsoft researchers continuously searches the Internet to discover new spyware and develop methods to counteract it.


Stops new threats quickly. A voluntary, worldwide network of Windows Defender (Beta 2) users helps Microsoft determine which suspicious programs to classify as spyware.

Anyone who uses Windows Defender (Beta 2) can join this network and help report potential spyware to Microsoft.


Automatically stays up to date. To help protect your computer from the latest threats, you can choose to have updates that counteract new spyware automatically downloaded to your computer.

By using anti-spyware software from microsoft you let microsoft decide what software is good and what is bad for you. I dont think that is really good.

I just installed it on my computer, but it's being a pain and giving me a bunch of error messages. Yes, well, that's the story of MicroSoft I suppose.

I'm satisfied with this antispyware product from microsoft... It removed a god damn spyware called spyware-axe (or something like that) I additionally use adaware and spy bot, but the problem was not fixed until I installed this thing.

A bad thing about it is that it tried to remove my Kazza filesharing program. That's filthy Evil or Very Mad
