Windows Defender Final Finally Released

Looks like Microsoft has quietly released the final version of Windows Defender. This version will not run on Windows 2000 or Windows Vista, Vista will have an integrated version.

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 top previous versions (Beta 2, It can not be installed over top Beta 1 previously known as Microsoft Anti-Spyware Beta). Source: JCXP
