Hello, Yes a version of MSE is built into Windows 8. It is called Windows Defender. It looks the same and functions the same as MSE did in Windows 7.

Re: [JAWS-Users] free antibirus software
I've tried Avg, Avast, and MSE. I'd go with MSE. I had AVG on the computer for a while and it caused my system to run extremely slow, especially when going through emails. To this day, I can't figure out why. All I do know is that as soon as I made the switch, the computer became much more responsive. On 7/30/2013 2:26 PM, Damien O'Connor wrote: Hi there.

May I second the recommendation for MSE? I used AVG for years but this one was better as it caught several problems that AVG didn't.
