   Thanks Ben,   
      
   I have heard good reports of MS's Security Essentials but because I used   
   a MS anti-virus program called Microsoft Safety Scanner MSERT.EXE some   
   time ago and it said it 'found' some questionable files and offered me a   
   change to keep them if I wanted to, so I told it not to do anything to   
   those files by selecting the button for that, but when I got to the next   
   screen it had 'PARTIALLY REMOVED' two files that were not in the list   
   they showed me on the previous screen.   
      
   That left a bad taste in my mouth for MS "Drive Scanner" programs.   
      
   Have you or any others who use MS SE had a experience like that?   
      
   I'd like to hear if MS SE is trustworthy.  Thanks!
