I can't find a forum on this product but since it is windows based I'm
appending my question here. I find on www.micorsoft.com a series of
discussions which leads me to believe that now is not the time to
upgrade from Beta 1 to Beta 2. However I can find no definitive
information. Can someone point me to a forum or discussion group where
I can reduce my fear of Beta 2.

Thanks

Windows Anti spyware beta 1, is replaced by Windows Defender beta 2.
This is the latest upgrade and it works a lot better.
 
Based on what I see as problems in the
microsoft.private.security.spyware.announcements
and other locations I think I'll wait awhile. At least beta 1 is not
causing me problems like listed in the spyware. areas.

I have BETA 2, on MWXP PRO 2, and have had NO problems! It looks a lot
better than BETA 1, but is still in need of MORE options! I would
try/upgrade if I were you!
 
Wise move - I'm sticking with beta 1 whilst they are still updating it.
Don't like the little probs others have been getting!
