re: Windows Defender /Norton 2009 Wednesday, July 8, 2009 at 6:30 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Steve (23809 messages posted) Thought I would try "Microsoft Security Essentials" out. Might be a good freeware alternative. The Browsers seem to take a bit longer to connect, but no noticeable CPU slow down Hits seen on the Task Manager when using the Real time Protection. I normally don't use AV software, and I never get hit with Malware, so I might not be a good Tester on how good it protects, but some reviews I read it was as good as most the Pay as you go AV products.
