Windows AntiSpyware becomes "Defender"
Microsoft is giving Windows AntiSpyware a makeover.
The tool, designed to protect PCs against hidden software, has been renamed "Windows Defender" and is getting a new look as well as capabilities to detect rootkits, keystroke loggers and other threats. The news of the revamp came Friday in a posting to a new Microsoft corporate blog dealing with malicious software.
The updated application will be part of Vista, the successor to the Windows XP operating system that is expected to launch by the end of next year.
Microsoft will also release Windows Defender for XP users. It will be released as an update to the current edition of Windows AntiSpyware, which has been available in a beta version since January.
The changes were expected. In October, Microsoft said that the tool would undergo significant changes before Windows Vista ships.
