    Microsoft Security Essentials
    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
