Joe User 99 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Ok, this needs to change. This is supposed to be a QUICK scan! :blink: 38 minutes?!? 237,079 objects scanned?!? How is that quick? :no: A quick scan should be like the MS MRT, where it only scans known locations for known products. Then a normal or indepth scan can cover everything.

pasztor.laszlo Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 i would like if a windows defender icon would appear next to the clock (i mean where are the messenger, norton antivir, etc icon) if it start automatically. how can i do this? i saw in msconfig that it starts on every system startup, but i want the icon for it, and i cant find how to enable it. how can i do this? and i liked that feature of antispyware beta1 that if i double click a .reg file, a little windows says that it wants to run, and i could enable or disable it from running. if i saw well it has gone from the beta 2. or not? -sorry for my bad english, but im a bit tired- :blush: TaciboY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Ugh, noticeable visual flaws in this. The indications for various tasks it is doing, they are not there, but this is looking better. I like this UI better then the previous one, I am waiting for some central management ability, like GPO...because I do not want to pay for a centrally managed spyware solution.

Aokromes Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 "This software requires GDI+. Please load the Windows 2000 Security Software PreRequisite Pack." I can't install it on Windows 2000. What the hell is the Windows 2000 Security Software PreRequisite Pack? I think your fix is http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&DisplayLang=en you must extract it to system32.

rseiler Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 i think its installed as a service now instead of being in startup... not sure but check it out.... EDIT: yea there is a Windows Defender Service One is a service, yes, but the other is in HKLM/Run, so you'll have to address that in Msconfig (or Startup Control Panel, etc).

Kr0z Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 My only problem is that I think Windows Defender should always appear in the tray. Otherwise it seems to work great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pasztor.laszlo Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 My only problem is that I think Windows Defender should always appear in the tray. Otherwise it seems to work great. yes. there should be a tray icon for it. i saw it one time in the tray, but never ever, and it had 2 options: open and exit :) and where can i find the updater?

pasztor.laszlo Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 and where can i find the updater? ok. i found it. its in the help menu in the About Windows Defender. but still cant find how to have a tray icon. i saw in msconfig, that it start with "-hide", so if it could be removed, maybe there would be a tray icon.
