    yup, that is why it is a shame MSDN/Technet have to wait to get the bits. They get it when GA comes, and haven't time to work on their apps before the general public get it. Shame on MS!

    I take your point, however this is on Windows 7. Let's wait for a test on Windows 8 with Windows 8 Defender tested. I can find lists similar to this with "it" not at the bottom. Surely not the best, but not the worst either. Note that the beloved (by most people) ESET is at #15, while the horrendous McAfee is in the top of the list.

    Hmm. Never had any issues here, but then I don't open questionable crap.
