Microsoft is providing a free download of windows defender beta 2 which I believe is antivirus %26 spyware scanner all in one. Any comments? Good or bad?

It seen like different operation with the previous one which is Microsoft Anti Spyware Beta 1. Windows Defender Beta 2 is more like automatically execute by it own and it just scan for critical items but not for suspected items. I also using Ad-Aware Personal SE as well and it gives me a lot of detected ''items''. However, I think using two or more than two spyware programs are the best way to prevent from infected. As long as I using Windows Defender Beta 2, it give me a good impression. Furthermore, it will updated through windows updated.

I have not used it yet.
Windows Defender is a bit permissive and allows some questionable files to exist. On the other hand it seems to work fairly well, and the resident mode is not as confusing as SPYBOT S%26D is to unseasoned users.
I have used it but it wanted to delete my spysweeper update files so I deleted it.
