I tried installing the MS security essentials that I downloaded from the Microsoft site but my laptop told me that this is a 32 bit version that cannot be installed on a 64 bit PC?

Microsoft software is best downloaded from a Microsoft website. Otherwise you can't be sure of what you are getting. CNET and many other download sites will often bundle a download with other software, such as toolbars.

How come I never have trouble with "extra" downloads when I get stuff from Cnet or anywhere else?

It must be because I actually pay attention during a software install and uncheck boxes when asked if I want to add a toolbar or search engine.

Yes I have been bitten by CNET's bundled downloads so I avoid CNET. I googled "microsoft security essentials 64 bit" and got dozens of download sites which I know will download viruses and false programs so I ignored these and insisten on downloading it from the MS site.

DavidW7ncus, thank you for the link.

Yeah, downloading programs from the official website allows little chance of extra issues.
