Windows Defender is a free program that helps protect your computer
against pop-ups, slow performance, and security threats caused by
spyware and other unwanted software. It features Real-Time Protection, a
monitoring system that recommends actions against spyware when it's
detected and minimizes interruptions
and helps you stay productive. Now with 2 free support incidents for
Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.
