I have been reading these newsgroups on a regular basis and find that for
the first time a Windows Beta causes more damage to an operating system than
any other beta MS has released.

It took me over a week to clear up the problems it caused to my system. I am
used to dealing with problems of working with betas since I am a beta tester
for several program and I have never had the kinds of problems this beta has
caused.

I finally was able to remove all traces of it and I will not try it again
until the reports show that WD is out of beta and does what it is supposed
to do.

I know that MS reads this newsgroup and I think that WD should be either
updated to beta 3 after being fixed. Or it should just be withdrawn as it
feels like an alpha not a beta.

Regards,
 
i have not had a problem with a virus or serious pest in 2+ years.
The first microsoft antispyware beta seemed to work fine, nice interface, no
update problems....

switch to Defender

constant problems and i get hit with a virus that completely locked me out
of my system, tried everything i could think of .. had to bring it in to the
shop and spend 80bucks.

Not blaming Defender directly ......but i wouldn't touch it with a 10' pole
and will warn everyone i know to avoid it like the plague
