    Anyone interested in trying this anti-virus from MS? Although it is only supposed to be available in the USA, Israel, Brazil, and China, I had no problem in downloading it here in France.
    I installed it on a Windows7 64 bit laptop no problem, but it does insist that you remove all other anti-virus and ad-ware programmes first. It downloaded updated definitions straight away.
    I don't know how it will perform later, but the first scan I carried out on my 'C' partition, after excluding .jpeg, psd, tiff, and dng files, was very thorough and took 90 minutes! Nothing found.

    I did tried, so faw I gave them high grade. BTW, there is a flaw in office to handle JPG (they do have patch for it) that can cause somekind of virus (or trojan), but I prefer to scanned them too.
