Windows Defender.

Hi guys. I am back, at least with one more 5 in my user ID.

Joe since you used Win Def. I think these questions are for you. Anyone feel free to answer them too.

I have been trying out Win Def for the past month or so since my Spy Sweeper license expired. Now I have a few thing I could not find in the help guide.

1.) What is the "Default Actions" for alerts? I can pick from Ignore, Remove, or Quarantine, but nowhere I can set it to ASK and that is what I would like to have.

2.) I have in "Software Explorer" several programs as "Not Yet Classified", even Win Patrol that is a known program is not recognized. Is this normal? When does Win Def reclassify them as "Permited", the other only classification I have for the programs running in my PC?

3.) What about Microsoft SpyNet? Is it a good idea to join it? I joined the advanced membership, and I have not received the first alert yet or nothing. Not even when I used one of my programs that are not "yet Classified" so I do not get it.

Thank you in advanced.
