Hi,
I was recommended MSE on this forum for my W7 PC, and I like it a lot
Is there a version of this for XP? If not can someone recommend something that is trusty and not power consuming like MSE?

Thank you

MSE will install on XP as well.

Follow the link and then click download, there will be a list of operating systems.

For those who have been using MSE for awhile, note there is a new V2 out there that has some significant new features like heuristic and network scanning and some other minor feature improvements. Microsoft has yet to make this available via Windows Update and V1's update checker will not pick it up. So you have to visit the MSE link above to get it. You do not have to uninstall the old first. It is a definite must have update.
