    i'm not sure it will, but you can try.

    does the computer BSOD in safe mode otherwise or just when trying to scan?

    Will do. I am going to be away from my computer for a few days (vacation) but will let you know after a day or two of testing. Thank you very much for all of your help

    MSE just refused to turn on real time protection just then. Checked for any other virus software I may have installed recently inadvertently, nothing there. Ran an sfc /scannow- no problems there. So I restarted and everything is fine again. I was thinking about running a safe mode system scan as I recently heard about this, but not sure now I have read this thread. Last thing I need is another BSOD right now. I need to tidy up my computer a bit soon. Is BSOD while performing this a considerable risk? Is MSE still the best virus software to use on Windows 7?

From everything I've read, xp mode requires a separate install of an antivirus than Windows 7. Is there a way to have XP mode run the Microsoft Security Essentials stored in Windows 7? That way, there are two instances of the MSE processes (one set of them in the XP mode virtual machine), but...
