UPDATE:

The same engine is used in ALL; Malicious Software Removal Tool, OneCare
and Security Essentials. However, The signature sets are not necessarily
the same.

I was told "...it's not exactly the GeCAD RAV engine any longer - the
code has evolved..."
: -)

This is a DEFINITIVE answer.

I can't tell you whom it came from specifically. All I can say is it came from a high
positioned person in Microsoft. Someone I have communicated with since just before MS
AntiSpyware became Windows Defender.

You may choose to not believe me or "buy it" but, what I relayed is a fact coming from
somone with real inside knowledge.

As for the evolution concept from the GeCAD '03 roots, I did not press my contact.
