Its always good to have a <a href="http://helpdeskgeek.com/" rel="nofollow">real geek</a> reading your blog, isn't it? ;) For one or another reason, I was hoping to grab your attention and explain this more in-depth Nelson ;)

This is the version you are showing on your example. In 2006, Microsoft released Beta 2 and it changed the name from Anti-spyware Beta 1 to Windows Defender Beta 2, compatible with Windows XP as an optional download, but is fully integrated and part of Windows Vista. I tested Beta 1 when it came out, and despite the high spyware catch efficiency, it had many issues, including the issue of taking valid genuine system files as threats, this caused many systems to become unstable because people deleted files that are actually needed for the system to operate. I believe this is not intentional from Microsoft, but was some type of definition problems they were having. Is not surprise Firefox shows up here as evil jejejjeje I agree with you Firefox being better than IE, even though in windows vista Microsoft has taken care of many vulnerabilities that made IE the bum in the browser arena, one of them being, Internet Explorer up to windows XP was fully integrated in Windows Shell, that means, Internet Explorer had access to anything on windows, which made it really easy to anyone to take control on your system, using another stupid technology that Microsoft introduced named “ActiveX Controls” that has been changed on windows Vista for good. If you are using Windows XP or an older Windows Version, I recommend you download Firefox for Better browsing Experience, Is faster, secure, and Easy to use. If you are using Windows Vista, you pick. Nice post by the way.
