It's about time. Microsoft came up with a free solution to all the attacks imposed on their popular opperating system. Windows Defender was fantastic for what it did, however it didn't offer complete protection. Finnally Microsoft is going to offer free a Antivirus/Antispyware/Firewall solution. That's pretty big news for this previously selfish bastard of a company.

It's probably going to be some bloated crap like every other Microshit product.

QUOTE(Jonathan-Andrew @ Jun 18 2009, 10:40 PM)  they also had a program named "Microsoft Windows Defender" it worked too.. i have it. This is what I was referring to as "Spyware Removal". OneLive Care (Microsoft's Current Antivirus) is actually a very good product. I wouldn't be surprised if the OneLive team is developing the free anti-virus as well. |
