The best (free) AV just got better...

I'd strongly urge that you run this if using a free AV.

There's a malware "fake" MS Security Essentials out there. Be careful not to get the bogus one.

Definitely agree. I was using MS Security Essentials when I got hit with a " MS Security Essentials alert. " It was a Trojan. While doing research to get rid of it, I seen where MS knew of this back in April. Six months later I get hit, even with current updates. Not a happy camper. Switched to Avast, which was suggested to get rid of the Trojan.
