I'm wondering why you say this about windows defender. I went and downloaded it
onto my XP computer. Is it a resource hog? Its only popped up once to catch
anything since I downloaded it like three months ago so perhaps its not that
good? Its usually my free AVG that catches things. Just curious what you
perceive the downfalls are of windows defender if its installed on something
other than a vista machine.
