Thanks for the heads-up on "Security Essentials", which I was not previously aware of. They must have slipped it in under my radar, or perhaps I saw it and didn't take is seriously. Microsoft has traditionally left malware protection to other vendors, so what made them suddenly put the effort into their own product?
Anyway, I tend to prefer products that come from the operating system manufacturer, because they have the "inside knowledge" and there is less lag time. So I'll run with Security Essentials and give a bash. A product that talks like a pirate ... yeah, good luck with that. Greg
