As previously blogged I took the opportunity to get involved in the Beta of MSE and it was a good result.
Microsoft have now moved this product out of testing and making it available for everyone to enjoy. I have tried the product on Vista and W7 32 and 64bit machines, all with positive results. So if your looking for a free AV alternative, that does what it says on the tin then this is certainly worth consideration.
I just wish they did a version for WHS 🙂
