[Rhodes22-list] Microsoft Security Essentials - anti virus

[R22RumRunner at aol.com]

Art,
Norton anti-virus gets good reviews by industry magazines, but I find it  
highly invasive. I've been installing AVG free for years and have never had a 
 problem. There is a new 9.0 version recently released and is available at  
CNET.com. I recommend it strongly.

Fellow  Skippers,

I tried to update my anti-virus protection this afternoon by  installing 
Microsofts 'One Care', which I had purchased for next to nothing  last Spring, 
only to get a message that my subscription would not be honored  or 
installed - not happy, with just four days left on my Norton.  My  calls to MS 
frustrating but eventually fruitful, for me and probably many of  you.  Here's 
the word - MS has just introduced their new system, MSE,  with even better 
a/v quality.

MSE is available free from their  website:

http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/?mkt=en-us

and  will apparently remain available for any XP, Vista, and W7 owners for 
no cost,  long term.  My installation on Vista and XP were simple and quick. 
  Doesn't sound like good news for Symantec.

I'll fill in blanks if  anyone has a problem installing, but I don't thing 
anyone will lose sleep on  this  one.
