Yesterday Microsoft released Windows Defender Beta 2, formerly Windows Anti-Spyware, and it's now available for download from Microsoft. The new version of the anti-spyware software features a redesigned and simplified UI, a new spyware detection engine, and the ability to run without administrator privileges. If you want to see screenshots of the new release, one blogger has posted a bunch here.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.

Its nice. I didn't mind the old interface, but this one is less cluttered. They removed the "Erase Tracks" button, and that's a shame. I liked to know that I didn't have useless crap sitting on my drive hogging resources. I felt like my browser/system took a shower after I hit that button. The new quick launch icon isn't as cool as the last beta version. I absolutely love the startup programs management. It is less scary then messing around in msconfig, and it has detailed program descriptions of programs that sneak into your startup. This is highly recommended, and so is PhotoStory 3 (the other free program offered by Microsoft) I hope that they include Windows Defender in the next update of Windows. If they try and sell this, I will not be happy (this should have been included all along, but I am grateful its finally here)
