Hi George,
Well I've installed it and all seems fine. Strange that they offer
several files for download then, if they will figure out for
themselves which version you require - there are several different
files listed but no explanation of them other than the file name. Oh
well...
Re Nod - I've been using Eset for the last year, and it was mostly
fine though there were a couple of things I could never figure out.
Now MSE exists and is free, I'm giving it a go. You could say you get
what you pay for but enough people seem to be using MSE satisfactorily
and I am reluctant to pay when free soolutions are available.
