Ha, limited download, it is already on all the torrent sites. And, if I was a betting man a guess of around 75,000 has already downloaded it and are running it at this time (me included).

HEY! this thing ate Windows Defender! i cant find it anywhere....
huh... maybe MSE assimilated it.

i like that it only uses ~26MB of ram, where as N32 was ~40-50, Avast was ~35
MSE might just make a name for itself.

I've seen it posted in a number of places ... that installing MSE will turn off Windows Defender. But not on my lappie. I had to turn off myself. Hmmmm.

I have a great idea. When people want a link, they should not ask for a PM. They should send a PM to someone that has a link. That makes it easier for those of us that have links.

So just put a list with nicks who have the links?

That would work. Though the idea would be to have someone who wants the link to read through the thread and ask someone that said they have the link......
