Windows Defender is not only the built-in Windows 8 anti-virus solution, but also a stand-alone anti-spyware tool aimed at older Windows versions.

Microsoft has just released a new build of the application, but the company hasn’t provided us with any specifics on it, so it most likely packs stability and performance improvements.

Microsoft Windows Defender 1.153.1833.0 works flawlessly on Windows XP, so in case you’re looking for a freeware anti-spyware solution for a computer running the 11-year-old operating system, this is at least worth a chance.

Windows 8 users, on the other hand, get Windows Defender as a built-in security product. This time, the app has turned into an anti-virus software solution, so it can also provide real-time protection against the common threats out there.
