in [Windows Viruses]

From: Daniel on 25 Apr 2010 14:42 Hi I just received an email from someone that said it was from DHL but it contained a Trojan, why did Windows Security Essentials not pick it up? I found out it was a Trojan because I was suspicious and forwarded it to a PC where I run a different AV program. Cheers Daniel

Why would you trust Microsoft to protect the computer at this stage in the game? Microsoft COULD have made the OS secure, but they opted for tight integration with all of their applications and to not rock the boat, to maintain users and profit numbers. Trusting microsoft to protect our computer is silly. -- You can't trust your best friends, your five senses, only the little voice inside you that most civilians don't even hear -- Listen to that.

Dave you are probably correct, but why did MSE not pick it up? Cheers Daniel "David H.
