The Microsoft Anti-Malware Engineering Team says its anti-spyware technology will be called Windows Defender, and included in Vista. The team's blog says: "Windows Defender is about what Windows will do for customers, defending them from spyware and other unwanted software. Our solution has really been about more than just the standard definition of "spyware". We've always said we will provide visibility and control, as well as protection, detection and removal from other potentially unwanted software, including rootkits, keystroke loggers and more."
Comment: Microsoft's anti-spyware is based on code (and people) it acquired by buying GIANT. It's been praised by many Ask Jack readers, so let's hope the team keeps it up.
