Windows Defender Verion 1.1.1593.0

[Joe Faulhaber[MSFT]]

As you've noticed, there's a new English verison of Windows Defender on the
Microsoft download site.

In addition to releasing Japanese and German versions this week, we
refreshed the English version of Windows Defender. Version 1593 includes
enhanced sample submission capability for the Japanese and German versions,
and we wanted to make this functionality available to English users as well.
By collecting more samples from customers, we are able to create improved
definitions, which help to better protect all Windows Defender users.

If you encounter a file the Windows Defender analysts have requested a
sample of, you will get a dialog listing the files requested and you can
choose which files, if any, to submit for analysis from that dialog.

Thanks for using Windows Defender,
Joe

....well done. That's exactly what we need to hear from Microsoft when a
version or engine updates. Thanks for keeping us informed.
