Windows Defender Beta 2 review

Friday 24 March 2006, 4:16 AM

Get the signature updating correct.


The problem comes when updating which just does not do so and every time you go to Windows update it Microfoft pages have a solution to run Msiexec /x {A5CC2A09-E9D3-49EC-923D-03874BBD4C2C}, but this just does not work and an error nmessage is shown
. Many others have complained about this in Microsoft's forums.

On the contrary, if vendors were forced to stand behind their products it should increase innovation. It would force more, and better , testing before hitting the sales floor, resulting in fewer updates and less downtime for the consumer. At present the EULA removes responsibility from the vendor, and moves it to the user, which is a step backward. Make the vendor responsibility for their code.
