Since you know that Defender actually exists, how have your experiences been with it? I found it to be absolutely terrible after feeling the old Microsoft Anti-Spyware program was one of the best out there. It took a day to scan all of my harddrives and left a bunch of programs that Spybot found about a week later whereas their old program would catch anything Spybot could and then some while doing it in a very short amount of time.

How ya doing, buddy?
