There are a few useful tools included in Windows AntiSpyware (e.g. List of
Browser Helper Objects where you can remove them etc.) that are missing in
Windows Defender. Though the software is now easier to use, but there should
be those tools added back to the newer versions of Defender. Could any one
suggest how to have those tools back?
 
Hello Sam,

WinPatrol -

Although not an anti-spyware or anti-virus software, WinPatrol runs in your
system tray to monitor any changes that spyware or malware can install or run
while you’re surfing the internet, especially if you’re running Internet
Explorer.

Note, When you install Ccleaner, uncheck the Yahoo toolbar option.
Note, in Options, Settings, Advanced, uncheck - Only delete files in Windows
folders older than 48 hours.
Note: uncheck Windows Defender in the applications.
Open Ccleaner and press "Windows" "Aplications" and Run Cleaner from the
menu choose 'Issues' and then press scan for issues, Repair any fºund.
Run twice Ccleaner, the same as above,until you get “0 bytes to be removedâ€.

If you are running SP2, open IE--->Tools--->Manage Add-ons, and uncheck any
BHO's that you don't recºgnize.

I also suggest downloading, installing and updating BHODemon for any Browser
Helper Objects that may be on the PC.

...and another one bites the dust. Too bad I'd have given it a shot.

"BHODemon is currently on hiatus, as I no longer have the time to devote to
it (due to a house fire). You will not be able to download updates or
upload reports, and I will no longer be answering emails. At some point,
BHODemon may return. I would like to thank everyone for their support over
the years."
 
I'm tired of hearing this answer (no, I am not shooting at Bill, the
messenger). There are many browsers that people use. Moving useful
features to IE7 from WD is...well....stupid of MS. WD is becoming less
functional and less useful at it 'evolves' in the beta testing stages.
