Morning all,

Anyone have an opinion on Microsoft Security Essentials. We currently use AVG and have some concerns with making our computers run slow. We are thinking of changing to Microsoft Security Essentials and welcome any comments good or bad about this software

Cheers

Colin

AVG used to be great, about 2 version ago, now it installs crap that bogs down a PC like you've noticed. Here's some reviews from a site I trust (includes the Microsoft offering):
Best Free Antivirus Software (http://www.techsupportalert.com/best-free-anti-virus-software.htm)

We use Security Essentials at my office. Seems to work well.
