Re: Microsoft Releases Windows Defender Beta 2
I notice that you say "real time protection" and that the MS site says:

When you install Windows Defender (Beta 2), you can immediately scan for spyware and other unwanted software that might be installed on your computer. You can schedule scans and choose to have harmful items removed or quarantined automatically. If potentially harmful software tries to run or install itself on your computer, Windows Defender (Beta 2) notifies you and helps you choose how to take action. And you can receive the latest spyware updates automatically.

Can I take it that Windows Defender does not do anything automatically to your PC without giving you the chance to say, "Don't."
