I've heard it stated that the definitions at safety.live.com will be the
latest that Microsoft has available. It also states that it is scanning for
spyware--but I haven't seen detections of spyware yet.
I've no doubt that if they are scanning for spyware, they are using the
definitions also available for Windows Defender. On the antivirus
side--they are running antivirus definitions which will also be used by
OneCare and Microsoft Client Protection. I'm not sure where the Malicious
software removal tool comes in--but I would expect those definitions are in
there, too.
