Hi bob3160,

But we are getting contradictory messages from MS about their commitment to MMPC. First they admitted that MMPC only delivers the minimal basic protection for users, now we get this “full commitment to protection” news from Malware Protection Center’s Dennis Batchelder, re: http://blogs.technet.com/b/mmpc/archive/2013/10/09/our-commitment-to-microsoft-antimalware.aspx .
What is the real situation according to you as a “field man” giving your avast! Seminars etc.? I still think Windows Defender is a “waste of time” comparing it to a full-grown and complete av solution like our recommended avast!.
