I just installed windows defender on my computer and my windows security
center did not recognize it as an anti-virus program. I am running windows XP
home edition. Please advise me as to the solution

Thanks
 
Hello Doug,

Windows Defender will not hook into the XP security center, but it will hook
into the Vista security center.

Hi Engel, Just a brief not to say thanks for your help with my question. It
seems like I remembered reading somwhere that Defender 2 was an antivirus
program. My mistake, thanks for the answer
 
On the consumer/home user level, Microsoft's Antivirus solution is Windows
Live OneCare:

I'm a little peeved at it this evening having spent some hours wrestling
with it on my teenage sons machine, but it usually works quite well, and
there's a 90 day free trial available.

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the information. I knew Microsoft had an antivirus program
because I remembered using it on my computer for awhile. I was unaware that
they had incorporated it into the Live Windows Care. Thanks
