Thanks Robert for this direct link. I uninstalled AVG 9.0 Free due to loss of focus issues and installed the Microsoft product. Do you know the default settings? Any tips on settings for scans and does this version do an automatic scan at start-up? Your advice and help much appreciated.

A member of this list suggested using the Microsoft Security Essentials anti-virus software, and provided the following link: microsoft.com/security_essentials/ Okay, I went there and searched around, trying a number of links, searching in vain for a download link. Microsoft seems to be imitating AVG, who also likes to hide their free anti-virus software in a rat's maze. Can someone please provide a link that leads to the actual download page? Thanks!
