Windows Defender

Windows Defender is softwindows defenderware from Microsoft to protect Microsoft Windows operating system from spyware. This software is part of Windows Vista and can be downloaded free for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.

Windows Defender is based on GIANT AntiSpyware, which was originally made by GIANT Company Software, Inc.. The company was bought by Microsoft in 2004. Windows Defender has the function of scanning systems and Real-Time Security Agents that takes into account some part of Windows to observe changes made by spyware. Users can report spyware to Microsoft through SpyNet.

Defender can be combined with Internet Explorer so that all the downloaded files are automatically scanned. In addition, all software is divided into three categories, namely "Known", "Unknown", or "Potentially Unwanted". Users can incorporate software from the third category to SpyNet to be analyzed by experts. In Windows Vista, Defender blocked all startup software that requires administrator permission. This makes it difficult to destroy spyware software systems
