Hi Defender error comes up when it asks for a scan

If I scan by pressing the scan drop down menu (rathr than the scan now button) it works fine, but this doesnt clear the desktop icon reminding you to scan every three days

I haven't run into this problem myself, but I suppose they don't call it a beta for nothing. IMHO this beta 2 is so far removed from beta 1 that it's pretty much a whole new program. Maybe the underlying detection and removal code come from the same pedigree, but everything else is so radically changed that it hardly seems to make sense that this is beta 2. If anything it's more like beta 1 of a different application.
