Interesting you say that about missing threats. I worked on a computer
at my church which had over 100 viruses on it and Microsoft Security
Essentials didn't pick up any of them. According to MSE, the computer
was fully protected. AVG found and removed all of them. As to being a
hog, it may not be one when it is running in the background but it sure
takes a long time compared to AVG to do a whole computer scan.

hyperbole. If you're concerned about it, use a spyware program like MalwareBytes along
with it. I also do an off-list scan with a anti-virus scanner such as Sophos on a weekly
basis.
There are lots of people including Windows Secrets folks that use MSSE. It is
certainly a lot more accessible and not a system resource hog as some other
programs.

It's reasonably accessible. The most accessible virus protection I
currently know of that is free is Microsoft Security Essentials. I'd
stay away from that program as it misses a lot of threats.

Is anyone on the list using AVG? If so, what do you think of it? Seems
like jaws friendly virus protection is getting harder to find.
