A little help please, Bill. It won't install on my w2k:
This software requires GDI+. Please load the Windows 2000 Security Software
PreRequisite Pack.
What in the world is that? My system is fully up to date.

Good question. I was planning a 2k install tomorrow--maybe I can get to it
sooner. I've some thoughts about what this might be--let me do some
research.
Hmm - you're my guinea pig--I won't have a 2k workstation to test with 'til
tomorrow--

is what I think you need.

I hope this Beta can give you a break, so you can spend more time with your
family, and enjoy this extrage weather.

That did it after I copied it to WINNT/system32.
It seems I had a slightly older version on my system:
F:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727
5.1.3102.1355
This is the one I just downloaded:
5.1.3102.1360
Now to see if I can get rid of .NET and the 300MB+ SDK<G>
Thanks, Bill.

Well--I'm following in your footsteps.
After unzipping in system32, I read redist.exe which says not to do that,
but to put it in the private directory of whatever's gonna use it--which'd
probably be \program files\windows defender.
I'll leave it where it is and see if anything breaks.

Turns out it has to be in system32.

Are you sure?
It runs as a service now.

Hi Bob
I believe one important key to this is missing, inside Vistan you
have a new "Security center" with also Windows Defender checks.
Is it running and is definitions updated ? Similar to antivirus and
firewall checks.

I found it running as a process as MSASCui.exe 5.252K but still nothing in
the system tray. Is that a "feature"?

I believe those are all by design.
FWIW. This is the place to express your opinion about the design. When
doing so, it may help to mention which OS version you are running on.

Whoops - Agreed--I was speaking about the icon and the progress indication.
There should be a balloon when def update is started, and another when it is
complete.

That's why I want to hear Windows versions. On Vista, the Security center
does useful work in checking on Windows Defender's presence. I'm not clear
on the plan for the downlevel OS's.

Yes, that is a feature. When there is a problem (spyware detected) or
something requiring your approval (change to startup programs) it shows up in
the system tray to alert you. Otherwise, if all is hunky dory, it goes away
and leaves you alone.
