There seems to be a lot of anti-MS bias on here that isn't based on any real data other than opinion.
Just because it is made by Microsoft does not mean MSSE is bad. It is very lightweight, does not crash, and does the best job of removing malware that I have seen. And it is free. I never used AV until I started using it because I was turned off by the crappy choices and I love it. --------------------------- Brian Weeden Technical Advisor Secure World Foundation <http://www.secureworldfoundation.org> +1 (514) 466-2756 Canada +1 (202) 683-8534 US On Fri, Oct 29, 2010 at 8:01 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > No. Microsoft Security Essentials is still a local install.
