Have you used Defender, either with WinXP or Vista? Do you think it's an effective solution, used by itself? How about in conjunction with another anti-spyware application?
I have used it on windows xp, and hated it. I prefer
spyware terminator, now that's a good anti-spyware
program and you can even use clam av software on it for
viruses too. Windows defender didn't detect as many
spyware programs, and every once in while my computer
became sluggish and unusable. It was the windows
defender doing it. No thank you, I'll stick with other guy.
And as far as having it integrated into Vista, that worries
me more. It sounds like a hackers paradise to crack it and
control the system. That's why you always have have to 2
or more anti-spyware programs, in case one doesn't
detect the spybot, or spyware.

Windows Defender will be offered as part of Microsoft's "OneCare" which you can download and try for free. I'd advise anyone to go to the Microsoft OneCare's Forum and read the replies before installing it. Seems it's a lot easier to install than uninstall and it seems as though it's in it's beta stage. Defender has not gotten very high reviews that I've read but I'm not here to bash Microsoft as they are always looking for new ways to get their hands into your pocket. This is one of them, buyer beware $ 49 / yr
I tested Windows Defender BETA and found that it routinely missed spyware that Ad-Aware and Spybot were able to find.
Built in! No thanks! What are the chances you can remove or disable it?

Warm feeling, wet reality, no one notices that it is more efficient to just run a secure OS in the first place, like a BSD or a GNU/Linux distro.

that run concurrently, multi-processing, multi-tasking, up to 4,000 open windows, on 20 desktops, and on multiple monitors, without crashing the system!
The alternative is the Multi-convicted Felon Microsoft that folks keep going back to, for the warm feeling. Like wetting your pants at the conference table. No one notices your wet reality.

After being found guilty of monopolistic tendencies, Gates needs to kiss up to Bush. I just wonder if we can build new prisons fast enough for all the "lone wolves" who are being snooped upon and made to disappear without habeas corpus by NSA with secret help from AT&T and Microsoft.
