Really? Compared to the mess the world is in because of Dell and all the other big guys bundling 3 month trials of commercial AV products that almost no one ever pays for, therefore by many orders of magnitude leaving the Internet a dirty, dangerous place to be!? Please please please MS put this on every PC and all those anti-trust fools keep quiet. By all means stick a screen in saying you can pay for more protection with products such as xyz, but here is a free one if not! Should have been part of Windows since day 1. We talk in security about low hanging fruit. The features of commercial packages are WAY up high in the upper branches compared to the state of the average PC with no functional AV. MSE on every computer unless chosen not to would be absolute Nirvana from the status quo! Rant over ;o)

Using it on them violates the license. While they have announced a version for small businesses, it is not yet licensed for that purpose so it's good that you are a responsibile engineer and not viloating the ToS and potentially exposing your company to a liability it shouldn't have. As for work, that's why Microsoft provides WSUS so you can remain responsible in testing your environment.

One other thing -- for MSE to work and update, "Automatic Updates" have to be completely enabled. I don't do this for work PCs as I don't want an entire company to go down when MS pushes out a bad update. -- Angus Scott-Fleming GeoApps, Tucson, Arizona 1-520-290-5038 Security Blog: http://geoapps.com/ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ************************************************************************************ WARNING: The information in this email and any attachments is confidential and may be legally privileged.
