Windows Defender

Where to Download to Remove Spyware

SUMMARY: Download the Windows Defender software to help remove spyware, adware, and other rogue software from your computer.
 
Microsoft, through their purchase of GIANT, has developed a freeware anti-spyware software package called Windows Defender. This includes most of the features found in the old GIANT AntiSpyware product, including spyware and adware detection, security agents that monitor suspicious computing activity, advanced tools for privacy and repairing spyware infections, and more.

Windows Defender requires a computer with Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003 or higher.

To download the software, visit the Microsoft's anti-spyware section at http://microsoft.com/spyware and click the "Download Windows Defender" link.

Or, more directly, access http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/
spyware/software/default.mspx
and click "Download it Here".
