I answered the same thing to Angus, but here it is.. Understood. But that has one drawback, which is that you do not
check emails for known bad URLs which are usually phishing attempts and use social engineering. For savvy people like us, no worries, but for consumers and/or clueless end-users, this is an extra layer or protection that can prevent bad infections.

With all due respect - this is something I always disable; even in Vipre. Email is the province of Exchange, not desktop A/V. Before you say that home users don't use Exchange, I'll admit that up front - and say that most of them use port 80/443 tunnelling for webmail, be it Yahoo! Mail, Excite!, Gmail, Hotmail, blah blah blah. So granted, I am probably the exception, rather than the rule; when it comes to having multiple Exchange servers at home. :-) I was on the beta for MSE - for a home product, I think it's the best thing I've seen. For a business product - I'm still on the Vipre bandwagon. :-) Other than a stupid documentation omission. (Which I've reported.) ________________________________ From: Stu Sjouwerman [[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2009 5:42 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: MSE is released...

I suspect this will be looked at as part of the Win7 release and rollout - and in a similar fashion. AVG free on Win7 is still a hog. MSE runs quiet and there doesn't "appear" to be the performance issues that plague the other free offerings. -----Original Message----- From: Tim Vander Kooi [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2009 2:20 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: MSE is released... I agree. But given that reality, are companies really going to rush to push out this new release from Microsoft? I doubt it myself. Companies that are taking the free or nothing approach are already using AVG or some other free vendor, since upgrading (even to a free product) has inherent costs involved.
