Microsoft has started allowing users to download Microsoft Security Essentials again, via Microsoft Connect. :) Just thought I'd let everyone know.

Easy way to get Microsoft Security Essentials

1. Go to Microsoft Connect
2. Sign in with your Windows Live ID
3. Go to directories
4. It is the fourth one down on the list.

Can anyone give me complete breakdown of why this would be better than Avast or another full featured antivirus solution?

I need spyware, and Antivirus from what I read this is just antivirius??

This is anti-malware: anti-virus and anti-spyware rolled into one.

Can someone prove for me that it is better than Eset Smart Security?
If it is than I'm going to change.

Why does everything have to be proven. Try it for yourself Robert =)

It uses less resources then any AV I have seen.

You can take my word for it and try it, or sit there with your ESET and wonder 'what if' for a while. :)

Oh and, can my thread be moved back please? I understand it was put in here because it is more relevant but I was trying to make people aware that they can download them again directly from Microsoft.
