I hope that also updates Security Essentials. I'm sick of that
thing nagging me that XP is expired.


Apparently, Microsoft dropped support for POS Ready 2009 with version 2
of Security Essentials. MSE is only supported on XP 32-bit, and
vista/w7 32 and 64-bit. It is not supported on any other platforms.


That's too bad. Security Essentials (SE) seemed to be one of the best
AV programs available, at least of the free ones. I suppose I may as
well just uninstall it then. I guess I'll have to buy Kaspersky then.
I'm not impressed with any of the free ones. In fact AVG claims to run
on Windows 2000 SP4. That's what I have on one computer, yet it wont
install. I guess when it comes to something as important as AV
software, one cant be cheap. However I wont touch anything made by
Symantec. I always figured that MS would make the best AV, since they
know the OS best.
