Windows Defender protects your PC in real time

Microsoft has released a second beta of Windows Defender Beta 2 anti-spyware application with significant changes in the user interface and full integration with Windows Vista.

Windows Defender Beta 2 - in fact, Microsoft Windows Antispyware Beta has been renamed and developed - has been added to the scanning of rootkits, keyloggers and other dangerous software with a completely new scanning engine.

At this year's RSA Conference, Microsoft demonstrated Windows Defender's ability to detect and lock Web-based dangerous software in real-time.

Combined with the security-focused changes in Internet Explorer 7 and the ability to prevent any default settings in Vista, Microsoft is aiming for a default security operating system with Multi-layer security features.

Windows Defender Beta 2 is also improved on the graphical user interface as well as the interface of security alerts. The new Software Explorer feature is promised to give users more advanced application management features - for example, users will now have more information about applications that start with the operating system. or applications running in the background.

Microsoft said to this point that Windows Defender Beta 2 has supported 64-bits operating systems and protection technologies for all users whether they have administrative access or not for their systems.

Another change in Windows Defender Beta 2 compared to Windows AntiSpyware is that the system tray icon is no longer available. Users can only see that Windows Defender is still running in the background when they receive an application warning.

Alerts will now no longer appear as pop-ups, but instead will mimic the warning gold balls inherent in Windows. However, Windows Defender Beta 2 warnings by default are not enabled.

Windows Defender also features automatic scanning and malware removal, multilingual support, technology support for people with disabilities .

Automatic update is another new feature in Windows Defender. The application will automatically download the scan engine updates and the list of malicious code software definitions.
