Yes, I know it's also an MS product, but for what I see, it works better than most of them. I also never use Windows for myself unless it's in a VM on my Linux boxes, or my company laptop, which has the corporoate McAfee on it. I'd add MSE if I knew for sure it wouldn't interfere, but it's not my laptop.... HTH.
