Windows "Yes, as a complete suprise it seems that Microsoft has released the final version of their long-time-in-the-making Anti-Spyware program, Windows Defender. The build is marked as 1.1.1592.0 and it seems it can be installed over previous versions (beta 2 that is; it cannot be installed over beta 1, previously known as Microsoft Anti-Spyware Beta)."

No, this product is to attract all viruses and spy to it so Windows can be more clean. You know even Windows doesn't have antivirus, all viruses go to it,

I actually got a headache trying to make sense of this. However...

if they say "Anti-virus", all virus "vendors" who would say "is it really? let me try". Probably this software has a way to separate all viruses from windows, makes itself sick but not windows, so it's more like a qurantine software.

This I understand, and agree with. Should be fun seeing what happens.
