<shrug> I thought it was a very new *non-Microsoft* item.

I apologise if you had already viewed the document.

I am interested to learn why you declined to use MSE in favour of Avast!
(which recently proved ineffective)

The fact is *ANY* and *EVERY* anti malware application may be proved to be ineffective at
one point or another for some malware.

For once I agree with you - 100%.

I get security bulletins from various sources automatically for Windows and
for Ubuntu and Mandriva Linux. What you posted is a layman's pdf of Security
Essentials, which is essentially a security suite Microsoft bought about 2
years ago. It is nothing new or amazing.

David,

You said "... bought about 2 years ago."

That's the first I've heard about that. I'd understood MSE to have been
developed internally by Microsoft itself.

From which company did Microsoft purchase MSE?

I do remember them buying Giant which they subsequently branded as
Antispyware, then Windows Defender, but have heard nothing at all about
about a purchase of MSE under any name at all. Seems odd.

The *document* is new - 27 March 2010. I was surprised that you had seen
it already, being busy as you are. Oh well!

Actually... No.

MSE is based upon Microsoft's purchase of RAV from GeCAD. That was purchased 7~8 years
agon.

The GeCAD AV engine became the basis of Microsoft's OneCare paid-for anti virus solution.

The GeCAD engine has gone though some revolutions and mods but is the core of Microsoft
Malcious Sofware removal Tool and Security Essentials albeit with different signature
sets.
