In a way, that's kind of cool - 'Microsoft' and 'free' in the same headline.

On the other hand it's a bit like reading a story entitled 'Ford to provide a free fix which stops their cars exploding for no reason'.

Hmm...

So... anyone try it yet?

I saw the post on BBC, I might give it a go myself

tried it?
i installed it yesterday when it came out
first AV i have had installed for EONS haha
wonder if it bogs me down..

That's all I'm saying.

Indeed...

How DARE they give away something for free!

After what they did with defender they can cram this up there .....

what was your beef with defender?

Maybe he's referring to the whole Claria mess, where Microsoft was considering the purchase of Claria and, at the same time, coincidentally downgraded the threat of Claria's spyware. FAIL! Hard to trust them after that.

looks like i will have to put more ram in my machine before i can use it!!

I've just installed it on one of my old laptops to have a go.

First impressions are that it's pretty low key, to the point where I was wondering if it was doing anything or not.
No system tray icons, no gizmo's on your browser, no arsey warning everytime you turn the machine on that 'you may not be protected' and trying to run a scan every day at the least opportune moment.

I'm going to spent the weekend browsing inappropriate pr0n for testing purposes...

Such dedication!
