Windows Microsoft's Windows AntiSpyware technology has been renamed "Windows Defender" and has been expanded to detect and remove rootkits, keystroke loggers and other forms of malware. The revamped application will be bundled into the Windows Vista operating system, but users will be free to choose a competing spyware protection product from a redesigned Windows Security Center.

Personally, I'll stick with AVG on Windows.

Windows anti-spyware is in no way a replacement for full virus scanner. They are *meant* to be two technologies that complement each other.

In reality they are just two more processes using up cpu cycles.
