Hi,
It's Microsoft's anti-spywear, still in BETA as far as I know.

Hi Carol and Vince,
Can I ask, what is Windows Defender please?
I haven't heard about this one before.
Thanks,
Justin

I like Windows Defender. It works quietly in the background, found
something others didn't and at least I understand what I'm doing with that
one.

Very good points, Barry, and I'd also get Windows Defender free from
Microsoft. It's not clear to me how effective it is, but it is probably
a bit better than Windows Firewall.
ZoneAlarm is also free to private users and provides a 2-way firewall.
Anti-spyware programs overall are necessary but mostly pretty
inaccessible. Spybot Search and Destroy is a good one, but use more than
one to cross-check your system.
Vince.

A must is a firewall when you're on broadband. XP has a built in one
but it only stops incoming intrusions. If you do get some malwear, the
XP firewall won't stop it going out to everyone else. Sygate is a good
firewall that stops traffic both ways and is quite accessible with
screen readers. You ideally need the firewall on before you connect to
the net as there are robot programmes on the net looking for vulnerable
computers to put trojans and key stroke recorders on. I'd also
recommend getting a virus checker and anti-spywear programme if you
don't already have them.

Hi List,
I'm about to bite the bullet and go for a broadband connection. I am
currently with wanadoo and will probably stay with them. However,
what are the do's and dont's re broadband, what pitfalls might I
encounter, all contributions welcome.
Many thanks in advance.
