Leo, do you trust Windows Defender (I mean, obviously you do, you run it, but still..)

I have a hard time trusting Microsoft to detect the crud it let through in the first place.

I do. No anti-spyware is perfect, and the landscape is always changing, but it's a fine part of an anti-malware arsenal.

This is a good question.
I also have Windows Defender running real time, and run a full scan once a week. As far as I know Windows Defender has never blocked anything and on scanning it has never found anything. Is Windows Defender really working?
Is there any way to verify/test Windows Defender to see if it is really doing anything?

I run Defender every week, and it has NEVER "caught" anything - I often wonder if it even works, when Spybot and AdAware seem to trap things?

I subscribed to Windows Live OneCare.I found I had to uninstall it to download Defender and then reinstall it.Later was told Defender included with WLO.I found both are excellent programs.I wondered 'bout the vault deal..Leo you are amazing!!
