Hi George, While it may be true that if MS mess up, it wouldn't be right, it could still be and indeed is, quite inferior to some other antivirus packages. In testing, we found two Trojans got past it, but didn't get past Nod. That's good enough for me.

It will work out for itself what operating system it is being installed on during the installation. While David's issue is a worry, there may well be other reasons for it getting through. I've got it on all my office systems, plus many others I've installed both here and abroad. As I've said many times, if Microsoft mess this offering of their up, there will be a mass migration to Linux, and that will be the end of them. George. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Catherine Turner Sent: 12 April 2010 08:19 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Microsoft Security Essentials Hi Ibrahim and all, Thanks for the links. I've downloaded what I hope is the right version now. Ibrahim - the link you gave is very useful, thanks. It's pretty poor that they don't explain which file to download for which version of Windows, - they just give the file name - but I think I got the right one...we'll see... I'm slightly worried by the fact David got a virus whilst running MSE...still will give it a go...
