Windows defender?

[Craig]

Recently, MS antispyware was automatically updated to Windows Defender (WD).
But I no longer see its icon in the system tray. How can I figure out
whether it is indeed DEFENDING Windows or not?

Microsoft has established separate newsgroups for Windows Defender Beta2
support and comments. This is not one of them.

Just a quick question. Where is Defender Tools? I see Microsoft
AntiSpyware folder but I don't see its exe file to open Defender.
Please post your answer. Thanks. Craig
