Posted October 13, 201410 yr Check out your Windows Defender folks as I noticed after 2 days mine had failed to update and was sitting over a month old in updates. I am hoping once I manually start it, it will continue on its own or that could be an issue going forward.

October 13, 201410 yr Author I just happened to look at it and it was sitting on Sept 7 considering I installed this yesterday and it has been on about 3 hours that is a bit odd. BTW am actually Liking IE here and see no reason to include another browser though I like to have at least another in case of issues cropping up. I just cannot decide which one to use and it might well be Opera which I have not looked at for years..

October 13, 201410 yr Author I am not sure this version sucks Dougie and for the purposes of testing why not try it as supposedly it is Antivirus and Antispyware. I still have Mbam Pro running besides though and I always disabled it in Vista and Windows 7 as you do.
October 13, 201410 yr FPCH Admin I always disable it in Win 7 and 8 but I haven't done so in the 10 TP. I doubt that it has become any better but who knows, I love surprises. :D This would be a pleasant one, for sure. ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~~~Robert McCloskey~~
October 13, 201410 yr Author I actually saw it removing stuff on an infected computer the other day with Windows 8 and I got all excited!
