jgpaiva: I am looking forward to hear how MS Security Essentials fares against the free combo of Avira + Malwarebytes's anti-malware (free version of Malwarebytes doesn't provide real time protection).

DownloadSquad did a piece on this, perhaps this offering from Microsoft will fare better than MSAV. ;) having said that, i'm curious too how will this change the playing field..

Looks like MS has released a free non-subscription antivirus!
Has anyone tried it?

there is a Softpedia link in that article, which allows one to download the program, but i'm not sure whether it checks for location when installing. only one way to find out. ;)
