A new version has been released that extends the timeout of the software to July of 2006.

Of course, you'll either need a "Genuine Windows" Product key on your OS or a good friend who does. (My "Genuine Windows" MSDN Universal Subscription Windows has always failed their little check, and I've never gotten an explanation for why, so go figure...)

Automatic updates are supposed to be turned on next week.

The AntiMalware team at Microsoft also has a blog here. Interesting reading.

    Did you try it? What do you think? I have been hearing mixed things.... One blogger/reviewer said it beats out Norton AV.

  2. I have been using it since the first beta, and I am quite satisfied. The newest version "Windows Defender" is more simplified, I prefer a more technical interface, but it still does the job. Note this is anti SPYWARE, not ANTIVIRUS. Norton still has a place on your PC.
