Microsoft on Thursday released an updated version of Windows Defender Beta 2, the company's anti-spyware and malware 
application that will be integrated into Windows Vista. The release fixes bugs in signature updating, polishes the user 
interface and improves the software's SpyNet reporting capabilities.

Responding to feedback from users, Windows Defender can now remain active in the system tray at all times. The SpyNet 
feature enables users to send reports back to Microsoft and help the company keep ahead of malware authors. "With these 
upcoming changes to our reporting network and our core technology, we will improve our detection and removal 
capabilities even more in the upcoming months," said Microsoft's Anti-Malware Engineering Team.
