I have installed it and it is now doing a detailed check my 500 gig Vista system.
I uninstalled my AVG virus protection software and also SPAMfighter and upon installing this new free Microsoft security essentials software, I'm wondering if it covers spam? I didn't find any reference to it and now wonder if I need to reinstall SPAMfighter.

Any advice is appreciated....barb
