[Novalug] OT: Virus Scanner for XP [Novalug Digest, Vol 47, Issue 17]

[Tom Gutnick]

Although I tend to be leery of Things Microsoft, I've been using MS Security
Essentials on a few systems for nearly a year, with no issues.  (I'm running
it under Windows XP, Windows 7 32-bit, and Windows 7 64-bit.)  No nags, the
performance hit doesn't seem too bad, and the need to reboot relatively
infrequent.
