April 198, 2006 - It appears that the Microsoft Windows Defender product has
joined the ranks of the SyGate and Symantec firewall products in making
simple-minded reports of potential malware for dynamically-installed NDIS
protocol drivers.

The problem is that their error reporting scheme simply does not provide the
user with any useful information that could be used to make an intelligent
decision about the report.

I have attempted to contact the Windows Defender team about this, but it is
fairly clear that they do not have the time or interest in making any
improvements to this erroneous reporting mechanism.

I have a short note on this Defender bug at:
