"Very poor. Much better free utilities out there."
Pros: At www.mjscomputers.net , we had problems removing the rogue Antivirus2009 program. This was one of the few products that did remove it - well done.. down hill after this.....
Cons: The problem is, Windows Defender seems to want to "phone home" to find solutions. Spyware often compromises your internet connection so you go around in a vicious circle. Misses far too many known spyware for our liking.
Summary: There are other free products which will do a far better job than Windows Defender.
It seems very strange that Microsoft have not been capable of putting together a better package than this.
By the way, it DOES slow your PC down, especially if it is running Vista.
