[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 826773, member: 31436"] Windows Defender (back when it was just an anti-spyware product, rather than a full antivirus) was based on Giant Anti-Spyware. [URL unfurl="true"]https://news.microsoft.com/2004/12/16/microsoft-acquires-anti-spyware-leader-giant-company/[/URL] Andrew Newman who was co-founder of Giant and went on to work for Microsoft for four years, is also the founder of Reason Cybersecurity. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewjnewman/[/URL] I've already uninstalled it, due to the bugs and it's not hard to remove. The uninstaller asks if your are sure you want to uninstall it and has a one minute timer, which counts down to zero, before you can click on Yes. However, once you click on Yes, it does uninstall it. After the required reboot, Segurazo was gone. A SurveyMonkey survey opened in my browser and I gave it a 1 star rating and mentioned in the feedback that it had constantly frozen during scans. While I don't like the countdown, at least the uninstaller does work. [/QUOTE]
