Excellent program that works unobtrusively in the background, updates automatically, includes real time protection and is completely free.

I used Defender early on in XP, never found one thing. Now 1 1/2 months later in Vista, still the same, never finds anything while Webroots Spysweeper is often triggered. I went to edit a photo using Windows Photo Gallery and immediately Spysweeper prompted me of an embedded trojan, Windows Defender, not a peep. I use Defender for the Software Explorer under Tools. Nice feature, I give it a 3 for that.

Vista already includes Windows Defender, so this new install would only be required for XP or earlier versions of Windows...
