    Well, maybe it'll give anti virus companies a taste of reality that there's demand for a simple product that doesn't panhandle for you to upgrade to the 'premium' edition they offer.

    I can only echo what's going around the internet at the moment, this is very good.

    I really hope you're not using pirated security software.

    I don't need to point out how incredibly silly that would be.

    It's not silly! I've just downloaded it.

    I'm not sure where you lot got MSE from though, it's called XP Antivirus 2009(maybe they changed the name :confused: after all - it is still in beta)

    Either way - it's really good! it's picking up all these Trojans and stuff :D

    It should be very interesting to see how it affects the market.

    There's a vid on it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qD1WfImw97E

    Looks promising

    I suppose I don't need to ask if you're being tongue in cheek?:D
