I have been using MS essentials on my machines for a couple of months now and am not looking back. I put the db folder and the RBTI folders as exceptions. It found things that others did not find. As far as I have heard MS is going to provide it for free indefinitely. If you put it on a machine that has vista or windows 7 it will automatically disable defender because it is an upgrade to it. I remember the other AV companies upset about MS providing an anti-virus. Symantec and MacAfee's stocks dropped 10 percent the day MS announced it. They already have version 2 in beta, which has firewall and web content. Dan Goldberg
