1. It is a requirement that you must uninstall the first beta and reboot before installing public beta 2.

2. Due to a bug in the first beta's uninstaller, Windows Defender may turn off. It is imperative that you check the status of Windows Defender after uninstalling the first beta and make sure it's where you want it to be.

Just trying it now. After first reboot, boot process was not completed and had to force a second reboot that completed successfully. Turning on all layers of protection still slows down the computer noticeably.

What do they mean by this:
2. Due to a bug in the first beta's uninstaller, Windows Defender may turn off. It is imperative that you check the status of Windows Defender after uninstalling the first beta and make sure it's where you want it to be.

I thought this was a full AV and AM? Is that incorrect?

Just had a strange bug with the latest beta. Both my lifetime keys are now saying that they can't be activated for being used too many times... The beta was already activated and working normally until yesterday. Returning to version 2 my keys worked normally.
