| Windows Defender doesn't do viruses only spyware. You might try going to
| http://housecall.antivirus.com and give Trend's scanner a try. It does spyware
| and viruses (if you select it right).

1. See http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic43659.html

2. Microsoft has established separate newsgroups for Windows Defender Beta2
support and comments. This is not one of them.
