Prepare for a slow machine, and infections.

To be honest with you I hardly use the internet on that machine other then to research a technical issue.

My email is all job related so I get so few of those as well.

And it's not one of the cheaper AV products around, compared to others. I'm assuming you're using the Pro version, and not the "Free" version, since the free version is only licensed for home users, against the license to use it in a business environment.

Latest version is now coming down through the "Upgrade" option, open MSE client on your rig, click on the drop down arrow next to "Help" in the upper right corner...amongst the options, "Upgrade"..and it will pull down/install the latest version.

This is also the section where you can submit samples to their database.

Just upgraded. Version # 1.0.1961.0
Why do applications insist on sticking shortcuts on the Desktop!
