[nfbcs] virus software

[Steve Jacobson]

Jim,

At least one of the sources of an article that Microsoft Security Essentials was no longer to be recommended 
backed off significantly in a later release.  As is often the case, retractions don't get as wide a circulation as 
that which is being retracted.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
