Hi Bailey,

Signatures are the definitions of the applications that WD detects as
potetially unwanted. These definitions have recommended actions for each
item detected - for severe threats, the default is to remove. For most low
threat items, the default action is ignore.

We've got a bug for us to fix the text to say "Definitions" and fix up the
help file here.

Thanks for trying Windows Defender,
Joe

Hmm - need to fix the appearance in Windows Installer Cleanup tool. too.

Thanks for the tip--I'll see if I can banish Signatures from my vocabulary
here.
