Windows Defender Where Are the Advanced Tools? SUMMARY: Where are the Advanced Tools in Windows Defender that used to be in Microsoft AntiSpyware? Note that this tip is for a BETA version of Windows Defender, and was written when Beta 2 was released. This information is subject to change based on new beta releases and/or the final version of the product. In previous versions of Windows Defender there was a set of Advanced Tools that let power users perform tasks such as analyzing individual files and displaying the list of BHOs (Browser Helper Objects) installed in Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, in Beta 2 of Windows Defender these tools have been removed. One option if you want more advanced tools is to download Spybot Search and Destroy. This software includes a BHO - Browser Help Object - viewer, as well as other tools including a secure file shredder, hosts file viewer, and options for locking Internet Explorer configuration items from accidental (or malicious) modifications.     Add: Del.icio.us | Digg | Furl | My Yahoo!   Discuss This Tip Print This Tip Get E-Mail When New Tips are Online Return to the Windows Defender page.
