Nirmal,

I have used the FREE version when it was released and faced quite a lot of issues like conflict with existing antivirus scanners like norton and mcafee and hence i discontinued using it ever since. Are you facing any problems now with the updated version?

defender gives decent protection. if you want realtime hi-grade protection, try hands on zone alarm or spyware doctor. i believe security suites like kaspersky internet security does all the work in one package

@Aseem,
I think you are right, Defender of not the best. I would go with Shashank. Spybot search and destroy is the best.

Currently i am happy with spybot search and destroy the best free anti-spyware available…never used defender so can’t say much abt that

I don’t know about you guys, but Windows Defender has never found spy ware that both Ad-ware and Spybot find. I’m not really sure why, but I’ve used it for almost 2 years and it always scans and finds nothing!

I run other anti-spyware programs and they find stuff! Anyone else seen this??

@Ram,
Even I was not aware that it was available for WinXP.
