How come Windows defender never found any spyware or maleware from my computer even I had some?
Are u hone
I have a windows vista home premium computer.I allways noticed none of the time since i have this computer and it has built in microsoft software 'windows defender'that i allways update too.but never noticed or it said that it found a spyware or maleware from my comuter and when i was suspicious about it i tried some different spyware software and they found few spyware-maleware from my computer.I am not sure if windows defender really working.
Answer
Most of the above replies have validity; no single application does it all.
Securing Windows operating systems from Internet assault & increasing predation, is not a single application, or a suite: and it's not a "one step- 10 second fix" that so many want.
It's layers of protection, user habits, system configuration, real time protection; and most important, threat landscape awareness (because the internet is so fluid and dynamic, it changes almost hourly).
Stand alone suites (CareOne, McAfee, or Norton) give users 'feel good' security, and lull them into complacency, which often has very bad results.
Look through some of the suggested freeware here,
http://www.snapfiles.com/Freeware/security/fwsecuritytools.html
study up, and pick some of the frontline, real-time defenses. Create a restore point after each install, then run the system to verify that application's 'friendliness' with your system before adding other applications.
Make selections based on your skill level & system's other configurations...an application you can't work with is of little use.
Generally speaking: as a system's convenience, interactiveness, flexibility & complexity increase: security decreases.
Core defense applications might include (but not limited to):
Avast! (anti-virus);
Zone Alarm (firewall);
SpywareBlaster (snoopware prevention)
>>>The #1 defense against malware: Firefox, with 'NoScript' add-on.<<<
Try malwarebytes to clean up your system:

& SpywareBlaster for system wide, realtime protection:
http://www.snapfiles.com/Freeware/security/fwantispy.html
Tsunami's of money hungry advertising schemes are sweeping the entire internet.
Don't let the battalions of external parasites into your system in the first place by taking an active defense posture to stop these guys on the threshold and keep 'em out. These steps will help, but methods (vectors) constantly change.
