• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Microsoft Essentials advice from the Gurus

I have Windows XP 32 bit. I'm currently using, and happy with Avast and Super Anti-Spyware. I gave up AVG six months ago when they made changes to accommodate Win 7. I've been reading good things about MS Essentials and was wondering, with what I'm using now, if it would be compatible as well as a good addition for added security.

Thanks in advance,

Bob
 
I have been using it on a laptop the last four months or so running Windows XP 32 bit without any problems so far . It has an automatic update feature you can set or manually run the update anytime you want to like most of them do . I know quite a few people here at SOH are using it and seem to give it good marks . You sure can't beat the price -----free

Rich (Sorry--I don't full fill the category of guru , I'm actually somewhat of a dumb a-- , well , I won't get in to that . I'm sure there are people here that have used it a lot longer than I have . Maybe they will jump in here and give their two cents worth .)
