I'm Jeff Williams and I've just joined the AntiSpyware team. My focus is on
community outreach (you guys!) so I expect we'll be talking a lot more in the
newsgroups. You may know me from some of the expert forums (CastleCops, Spyware
Warrior, etc.) as MisterX .
Andrew Newman (Expert):
Q:
So is that Managed C++ or is it not .NET?
A: Native C++
Jason Joyce (Expert):
Q:
Will BETA 2 of Windows Defender support Windows 2000?
A: Currently we plan to offer Windows Defender Beta 2 for Windows 2000,
Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and of course Windows Vista.
Sterling Reasor (Expert):
Q:
When can we expect new AntiSpayware (like Defender in Vista) for other Windows
versions?
A: We are currently working on a downlevel version of Windows Defender.
We hope to have release details available in the near future.
Tareq Saade (Expert):
Q:
What role will Spynet continue to play since its not a pivotal part of the
product in terms of community and receiving updates?
A: Microsoft SpyNet is a pivotal part of the product. We will continue
using it to collect voting data and improve our definitions.
Jason Joyce (Expert):
Q:
Are there any plans to include Windows Defender in Longhorn Server, since it
already includes a Firewall similar to the client?
A: Windows Defender will be included in all versions of Windows Vista
Ron Franczyk (Expert):
Hi, I'm Ron Franczyk, a founder of GIANT Company Software, and now doing
Security Incubation work at MS, including completing the transition of Windows
AntiSpyware into the new Defender technologies.
Sterling Reasor (Expert):
Q:
What does the Windows Defender icon in Windows Vista mean? I don’t like it, I
would have preferred a shield or insect spray can.
A: The current circular red and blue icon is a placeholder icon. You'll
see the final Windows Defender icon in the next Vista CTP build.
Jason Joyce (Expert):
Q:
Can this be used with other OS's? XP, 2000, 2003, R2 ?
A: Currently we plan to offer Windows Defender Beta 2 for Windows 2000,
Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and of course Windows Vista.

currently work on AntiMalware technologies incubation work with Ron Franczyk.
Sterling Reasor (Expert):
Q:
The interface of Windows Defender lookes difficult for new computer users... Wil
it have more wizard functions soon?
A: Actually, usability feedback has shown that the redesigned UI of
Windows Defender is much easier for novice users to handle. You won't see
separate wizards to do Windows Defender functionality. In fact, this UI is built
using the Windows Vista user experience guidelines.
Ron Franczyk (Expert):
Q:
Any specifics on when BETA 2 of Windows Defender will be released for Windows
XP?
A: Current discussions are to release Beta2 - 1st Quarter of 2006

the Definition Updates for Windows Defender.
Ron Franczyk (Expert):
Q:
Are there chances that my own software would be rated spyware even though they
aren't? (If it's an automatic rating process...)
A: Its not an automatic rating process, so No.
Tareq Saade (Expert):
Q:
How do you uninstall Windows Defender or is not suppose to be uninstalled?
A: In Windows Vista, you will be able to disable Windows Defender.
Sterling Reasor (Expert):
Q:
Does Windows Defender include cookie scanning?
A: No. Windows Defender is designed to scan and remove spyware and other
types of potentially unwanted software. Cookies don't fall into this as they are
innocuous files that can't compromise your computer.
Tareq Saade (Expert):
Q:
Every time the Windows Vista start, the Windows Defender scans all disk leaving
the system slow. Can we modify this activity?
A: You can configure the time that Windows Defender scans your computer,
or you can turn scheduled scans off if you like.
Jeff Williams [MSFT] (Expert):
Q:
Why did Microsoft choose GIANT over other vendors on the market such as Adaware
and Spybot that have proven to be very effective in their fight against Spyware?
A: Microsoft chose Giant over other AntiSpyware products after a careful
review of many products in the market. Giant represented best of class
technology in many ways and as a result represented an excellent opportunity for
Microsoft to enter this market.
Andrew Newman (Expert):
Q:
How often will Definitions be released for Windows Defender ?
A: There is no set schedule. With that said definitions can be released
at anytime, from multiple times daily to at a minimum weekly. This purely
depends on the nature of items being added to the signatures and the threat they
present to users.
Tareq Saade (Expert):
Q:
Can it made be able to let Defender scan when turning off your system. Like
Microsoft Update?
A: That's a neat suggestion.
Jason Joyce (Expert):
Q:
At the risk of asking a very banal question, can someone sketch what components
Windows Defender will include--and will it include Win One care Live in some
versions?
A: Windows Defender is a separate offering from Windows OneCare Live.
Windows Defender will be a part of Windows Vista where OneCare is a separate
product. OneCare also stuff like virus scanning, firewall settings, tune-ups,
and file backups. You can find more information about OneCare here:
http://www.windowsonecare.com/
Ron Franczyk (Expert):
Q:
Will the version of Windows Defender made available for Windows XP be any
different in terms of features and functionality compared to the bundled one in
Vista?
A: They are very similar, with Vista's version taking advantage of User
Access Protection.
Sterling Reasor (Expert):
Q:
Why has Windows reached the point where it needs to include an AntiSpyware
utility?
A: The computer ecosystem continues to change and when you look around
today, spyware, adware and other types of potentially unwanted software have
become a huge topic. The real problem with Windows today is that it does not
provide adequate visibility and control over the software running on your
computer. One of the main goals of Windows Defender is to improve visibility and
control. Thus, I think of Windows Defender as more than an 'AntiSpyware
Utility."
Jason Joyce (Expert):
Q:
Are you planning to have corporate update servers rather than relying on
Microsoft update servers in the Internet?
A: Yes, a corporation can choose to use Windows Server Update Services
(WSUS) to federate and approve definition updates for Windows Defender in their
environment.
Sterling Reasor (Expert):
Q:
How different will the bundled version of Windows Defender in Windows Vista be
to the commercial offering?
A: The standalone version of Windows Defender will be available at no
additional charge for licensed Windows customers. The feature set between the
Windows Vista version and the downlevel version are the same. However, the
version in Windows Vista does take advantage of Windows Vista features, such as
User Account Protection.
Jeff Williams [MSFT] (Expert):
Q:
Why has Windows AntiSpyware for Windows XP/2000 been in BETA for over year now,
that’s a bit long for such an application?
A: The priority for development has been integration with Vista. Because
beta 1 was essentially a rebranding of Giant's very successful and useful
product development focus has been on inclusion with Vista and on the upcoming
beta 2 of Windows Defender.
Ron Franczyk (Expert):
Q:
Will Windows Defender stay free? Or will Microsoft charge to for it later?
A: Windows Defender will be provided at NO cost for all Validated
Microsoft Windows Users.
Sterling Reasor (Expert):
Q:
Why not leave the name AntiSpyware? I found it very descriptive, and now it's
kind of like a TV show.
A: We switched the name because "AntiSpyware" is not exactly on target
with the functionality provided in Windows Defender. It goes after Spyware,
Adware, and other types of potentially unwanted software.
Kalid Azad (Expert):
Q:
Kalid, I was notified that an update for the defs of WD was available on a
Toshiba 1800 laptop, XP Pro SP2. WD was uninstalled. Why the prompt for the
update ?
A: Hi, we have a known issue with our Beta setup where signatures remain
after uninstall, and thus updates are still offered. We are working updating our
setup to resolve the issue, and are revising our updates to detect this
condition.
Jeff Williams [MSFT] (Expert):
Q:
Is the current user interface for Windows Defender final?
A: No. The beta process is an active one and we are making continuous
refinement to the UI.
Ron Franczyk (Expert):
Q:
Windows Defender currently protects against malicious code coming through the
browser, is this defense also supported through e-mail clients such as Outlook
Express, Office Outlook and Windows Mail?
A: Windows Defender Beta 2 uses the IofficeAntivirus interface to
intercept file downloads through any application that leverages the Attachment
Manager. This includes IE and Outlook Express.
Kalid Azad (Expert):
Q:
Is Windows Update always involved with Windows Defender, or does it get it's own
Updater?
A: Windows Defender uses the Windows Update infrastructure to get
updates, rather than its own update mechanism.
Tareq Saade (Expert):
Q:
Will users be able to add or except adware?
A: Yes, Microsoft believes that administrators should always have the
right to decide what software runs on their machines.
Sterling Reasor (Expert):
Q:
Could you tell me a little bit about integration between Internet Explorer and
Windows Defender?
A: Internet Explorer uses the Attachment Manager, which we introduced in
XP SP2. There is a public API that allows IE to call Windows Defender to scan
packages before it runs or saves them.
Adam Overton (Expert):
Q:
Are there still features of Windows Defender that are on the table being
debated?
A: Improving products is always a balance of addressing specific customer
needs, and stabilizing what we have and shipping it. I can't really say the
debate is ever closed, it's often just a matter of choosing which release will
get a given feature.
Sam White (Moderator):
Q:
Can we post this chat session on our blogs?
A: Yes, that would be fine as long as attribute it to the Windows
Technical Beta.
Andrew Newman (Expert):
Q:
Will Defender be a free service?
A: Windows Defender will be available at no additional cost for computers
running a licensed version of Microsoft Windows.
Ron Franczyk (Expert):
Q:
Does Windows Defender support third party browsers such as FireFox or Netscape?
A: Windows Defender scans for and cleans any spyware that is detected on
the machine regardless of the browser used to download it, however there are no
protection integration points built for Firefox.
Adam Overton (Expert):
Q:
Will Windows Defender scan quiker soon?
A: We've put significant effort in to our upcoming Beta 2 to improve scan
times.
Jason Joyce (Expert):
Q:
Will the central management tool (to be included in Longhorn server, hopefully)
be able to also control the Antivirus product you'll be beta-testing this year
as well?
A: Unfortunately this is a bit out of scope for this chat, but you can
read more information about Microsoft Client Protection here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/solutions/security/clientprotection/default.mspx
Jeff Williams [MSFT] (Expert):
Q:
How will Microsoft determine what is malware? Will there be options to screen
products that are borderline malware products?
A: Microsoft uses a set of objective criteria to make determination on
any given piece of software. Based on the specific behaviors of the software in
areas such as notification, consent, use of data and technical considerations
such as install/uninstall experience a determination is made for each piece of
software reviewed. We regularly re-evaluate software as the software changes or
as the criteria change.
Adam Overton (Expert):
Q:
Are there anymore features left to be implemented or are we seeing the final
product?
A: Our upcoming Beta 2 will have significant changes.
Andrew Newman (Expert):
Q:
Will Defender be a Subscription based service??
A: Windows Defender will be available at no additional cost for users
running a licensed version of Microsoft Windows.
Adam Overton (Expert):
Q:
Will Defender include Antivirus in the future?
A: We have no plans to include Antivirus in Windows Defender at this
time.
Jason Joyce (Expert):
Q:
Is the release of Windows Defender included in Windows Vista BETA 2 or an
interim release?
A: Windows Defender is part of Windows Vista and therefore will be in
Vista Beta 2
Ron Franczyk (Expert):
Q:
Does Windows Defender run as a serviece so it works correctly when a non
privileged use is logged in?
A: Yes. Much work was done to ensure full protection is available for
standard users.
Adam Overton (Expert):
Q:
Are there any plans to bundle the final version Windows Defender with Internet
Explorer 7 for Windows XP SP2?
A: Windows Defender will continue to be available at no additional charge
to licensed users of Windows XP SP2, but it's not tied to Internet Explorer 7.
Tareq Saade (Expert):
Q:
Is it safe to stop the Windows Defender Services in build 5270? Sometimes, MS
software has dependencies (outside of service dependencies) that make it unwise
to disable a service.
A: You wont be safe from potentially unwanted software ;) but I don't
think we've noticed any problems with Windows Vista if you turn Windows Defender
off in build 5270.
Sterling Reasor (Expert):
Q:
What are the top 5 features users should look forward to in Windows Defender?
A: In no specific order, here are some of my favorite feature adds: The
ability to run scans and remove spyware and other potentially unwanted software
as a non-admin; definition updates can include engine updates as well as new
signatures - this means we can handle new 'threats' without having to release a
completely new build; localization & acc | | |
