[OPLINTECH] MS Security Essentials

[Eric Maynard]

On a side note: I see the PC Mag's Editor's Choice for best FREE antivirus
(11.13.09) is Panda Cloud Antivirus Free Edition 1.0 which also claims to
have early detection.

Anyone have any input on it?  I'm going to be testing these myself, but I
just thought I would ask the list first.

thanks,
