I've been running Windows Defender on my XP machine for probably a year now (ever since the beta version in fact) but can't say that it has found a single thing. Thinking about it I don't think WD has ever found any spyware on any machine I've installed it on. This makes me question whether it is any good and how important real-time anti-spyware protection is. I ALWAYS install AdAware SE & Spybot on all PCs and recommend AVG anti-spyware for people who are concerned or high risk (kids use PC for example).
What do you think:
Is Windows Defender any good?
Was its implementation into Vista a good idea?
How important is real-time anti-spyware protection?
Should I uninstall Windows Defender on XP based PCs or leave it in-situ?
