Nice Product

[John Dingley]

Just installed this on two of my PCs (XP Pro with all the updates) and from
what I see it is a very nice product - easy to use, attractive, and provides
realtime security with auto updates. On my sons machine it also found 5
spyware programs that SpyBot S&D and Adware failed to detect.

I have only a couple of suggestions. Perhaps when during a scan, if the user
clicks on any menu item etc the scan does not abort - it would be nice if
you were warned of this or were able to resume the scan afterwards.

I use a well known antivirus product (McAfee) and it would be nice if this
tool were able to make exceptions for anti virus software when making
announcements about activity. My young son could easily have prevented my
antivirus updates being installed.

Both good suggestions. Microsoft is aware of the first issue and working on
it.

The second issue will require some coordination between McAfee and
Microsoft. I'd encourage you to provide feedback to McAfee so that they
know their customers are expecting them to get started on doing this work.
