Review

Microsoft Windows Defender (previously known as Windows AntiSpyware) is a security program that helps you to protect your computer from spyware and other potentially unwanted threats. Its redesigned and simplified user interface makes common tasks easier but still ensures the user is aware of the most urgent alerts. The detection and removal have been improved with a new engine that detects and removes more threats which are essential to reduce the negative effects caused by spyware, including slow PC performance, annoying pop-up ads, unwanted changes to Internet settings, and unauthorized use of your private information. The program also features Real-Time Protection, which monitor key points in the operating system and suggests actions against spyware when it's detected, minimizes interruptions and helps you to stay productive. Windows Defender now downloads smaller delta definition updates when possible which reduces the time required to download and install definition updates. Windows Defender boasts superior security with the compatibility that only Microsoft can offer.
Advantages
  • Simple interface. Easy-to-use. Free.
Disadvantages
  • None.

You Better believe it Paul !!
AVG is Excellent ...but Windows Defender comes straight from the OS Matrix and runs quietly in the background
untill you need it . P.S. Don't forget to Use "C-Cleaner" with AVG, the Three programs together keep your PC virtually Virus Free
