Dick, I've never noticed any slowdown due to MSSE or anything else for that matter. I have 8GB DDR3 SDRAM (of which my 1GB GDDR5 Graphics card steals about 3 or 4 GB - I don't know why but have bothered stopping it as I don't have any performance issues.). I only do Scans when my PC would otherwise be idle. I'm set up for a quick scan but manually do a full scan at least once a Quarter. The only time MSSE found something was when I transferred files form my old PC to the new one. If I don't find an infection by year end, I'll probably quit doing full scans unless I change my browsing habits. While I've seldom had anything good to say about new MSFT releases and especially their "free" stuff, I'm close to ecstatic about both Win 7 and MSSE. Even Windows Live is a tolerable replacement for Outlook. FWIW, Ian

I had email open when the MSSE stalled the machine. The only thing is no other anti-virus program did that, so I unloaded the thing.
