Since I could not find an option to post feedback, I thought I'd post it on
this site hoping that Microsoft reads it.
The beta1 system explorer had more options than the beta2 software explorer.
Not that I continuously check the downloaded activeX or use the IE options.
But I'd still like to keep them.
Beta2 updates it's definition file through Windows Update. I hate this most
of all. I don't want Windows to update itself without me knowing about it and
I'd like to have the option to exclude certain updates. But now I keep
getting Windows Update warnings about definition files. Please make it
possible for me to separate the download settings for Windows Defender and
Windows itself.
Windows Defender has been preset to scan the computer at 2 am every day. but
since I do not use the computer at night, I switch it of. This means that
after 3 days I get a nag screen complaining that I haven't scanned for
spyware. Although this in itself is a good thing, I'd like to have an option
that allows me to set the time after which Windows Defender gives me a
warning.
Although beta2 is probably a better product for the average home user,
Microsoft must realize that not all of its customers are computer illiterate.
Like they themselves told me at the recent DevDays, it's a plus to have a
simple user interface for average users, but also include a more advanced
interface for the more experienced users.
P.S.
For the future it's definitely an improvement that you no longer need admin
rights, but currently other programs still require this.
The fact that beta2 is a service, is also an improvement for some users, but
I'm either logged on, or my PC is switched of.
