They can't even get the correct video to play about its features. Nice work MS.


I know that the install is significantly less than AVG but does anyone have any links to reviews done on resource usage, scan times, accuracy, etc? I searched a bit earlier but couldn't find anything concrete. If it really is superior to the other products out there then I'd be willing to switch my systems.


There is more discussions over at Free Stuff forum, including links to few reviews. Link


Best to wait to see how well it works, i.e. overall performance, memory usage, and actual protection rating.

I like it so far.


I just installed on my newly installed Windows 7. We'll see how it goes.

So far, it's pretty much out of the view. As long as it prevents unwanted things, I'll have nothing to complain about.
