Easily one of the most used and highly regarded Anti Viruses out today. Why pay $90 a yr to run Nortons that crushes your computer when MSE is free and runs very very very well

I also have to mention Filehippo Update Tool. This will check all your currently installed programs and let you know which programs have been updated.
I have just added a few more applications as well as Filehippo Update tool.
Hope this helps everyone out
