Don't know John, I just removed them. If MS didn't know what they were then that was good enough for me. Nothing untoward has happened, so....

On one machine it found 3 items that AVG had never picked up. So far, I am delighted with it. You do have to uninstall other AV software as part of the installation, so to save time, you should do that before you start installing it, otherwise you only have to start over needlessly. Time will tell, but for me, so far so good.

This review <http://blogs.securiteam.com/index.php/archives/1324> says "even for free software, and from Microsoft, it's pretty weird." Another review <http://www.pcpro.co.uk/reviews/software/352417/microsoft-security-essential s> says it's OK but weak, and a third <http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2009/10/04/microsoft-security-essentials-rev iew/> recommends it. I'm left to wonder if it adds significant functionality to what other free AV tools like AFG offer. Any ideas?
