I really wonder what the purpose of this statement is. If it was a forced patching prior to the install, kudos to Microsoft, and Mr. Rubenking should have giving them recognition for that. If not, why bother to convolute his install notes with his own inadequacies that muddle the actual installation time? What truly disappoints me is that this is yet another application that wont install on 64-bit XP. -- ME2 On Wed, Sep 30, 2009 at 6:32 AM, Alex Eckelberry <[email protected] > wrote: > PC Mag review fwiw > > > http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2353447,00.asp > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Angus Scott-Fleming [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Wednesday, September 30, 2009 2:13 AM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: Re: MSE is released... > > On 29 Sep 2009 at 17:42, Stu Sjouwerman wrote: > > > Just bear in mind that MSE does -not- filter incoming email. > > I disable inbound mail filtering as I figure the real-time scanner will > catch anything malicious as it's extracted from the email and written to > disk.
