Is there any way to get the Windows Defender icon displayed in the Taskbar Notification area?

In Win 7 the MSE icon is displayed in the notification area.

I like the info it shows in Win 7 MSE:

  • Animation when scanning
  • A different color for out of date definitions or last scan run.

It doesn't have it there by default, as it's been more designed to be built in and feels like nothing is in your way, but secure. Basically the premise of Windows Defender before, but with an ACTUAL purpose.
