Some of you may have missed the announcement for Microsoft Security Essentials a few weeks ago, but now you know about it there is no excuse not to have anti-virus software on your home PC.

    That's right no reason for anybody to complaint about getting viruses because of lack of protection.  But Is this already proven? Let's try to see if it's worth it.  One more thing I was wondering about is that if I run this simultaneously with my norton anti-virus will it cause any trouble?

    Its leveraging our Forefront Security product, which has a great track record.  

    Try it!!  Let me know what you think!!!  

    Not sure if you'll have problems running it with Norton running at the same time.
