My PC prompted me today to update to the latest version of Microsoft Defender Beta2 (previously called Microsoft Anti-Spyware).
Update went well and quick scan afterwards found and removed Hotbar from my working, protected PC - looks like the latest version is continuing to improve. Love it. |

Been using the defender beta since the laptop got thrashed a few weeks ago.
Haven't had any problems since. Have enabled real time protection but still don't know how I can get it to show an icon on my taskbar. I keep freaking out not seeing it on and have to go check to make sure it's running lol The old version had that toolbar icon. I know it's a little thing but I like seeing it.

taskbar icon...
+Launch it via desktop or Start menu shortcut (it's very likely running already, but in stealth mode - which is the problem for you - and was for me!) +click Tools +then Options +then Scroll almost to bottom (section called "Real-time protection options") +change "Choose when the Windows Defender icon appears in the notification area" to Always +click Save +close the app Cool little fortress brick wall icon in sys tray from there ever after (you may have to restart, I forget, but it's there for me now always quietly reminding me I'm safer with it) |

Great tool and no one can beet the 20.00/yr forr 3 license copy price. No need for the cookie crunching, link blanking Norton. Just install on a cleaned machine. It doesn't co-exist with AVG and some other anti-virus programs or the Zonealarm firewall.
