I'm a long-time Langa fan and Windows Secrets subscriber (I actually pay
for a subscription, very rare for me).
I've used MSE for close to a year and installed it on many other PCs.
None has had a problem of any kind.

Security Essentials test drive — month 6
Fred Langa
After half a year of real-life testing, Microsoft's Security Essentials
anti-malware application is batting 1.000.
"So here it is: after six months of full-time use on nine different
systems, MSE looks like a solid winner.
For my tests, I used Windows' built-in firewall (on XP, Vista, and Win7)
and a copy of Microsoft Security Essentials, which I allowed to run with
its default settings. Over the past six months, my main PCs have been
online 24/7 and my two portables have logged over 20,000 miles (32,000
kilometers) of use in hotels, coffee shops, cars, planes, ships, and
other assorted public venues.
All the machines have remained clean. They've suffered no malware or
virus infections whatsoever."

Looking for a good virus protection program. Have always used Norton and
never had a problem but some say they have run other programs and found
viruses / spywear Norton did not. I am currently using CA but recently
read a review that didn't think much of it. I am using it because it
comes free with my service provider, Time/Warner and have never had a
problem with it. My computer, I think, tends to run slower than I would
like and am wondering if I have a virus / spy wear CA is not finding.
Everyone has their opinions. Just looking for performance issues others
have had with their virus protection.
