It is free for genuine Windows users and available for Windows XP, Vista, and 7 in both 32-bit and 64-bit varieties. Be sure to uninstall your current anti-virus solution first.  I have it installed on my notebook and I’ll be giving MSE a thorough test drive. If you’d like to learn more Ars Technica has a nice review of MSE here. Alternatively, if you’d like to jump right in you can get Security Essentials here.

If you enjoy using Firefox and are into social networking, Flock is the browser for you. Flock is built on the Firefox codebase, so you know it is solid. That being said: Flock feels a lot like Firefox, and many of your favorite Firefox extensions will work with Flock. Flock integrates with services such as: Digg, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Pownce, Flickr, Blogger, Gmail, Yahoo Mail, etc. It also has a built in blog editor. I’ve been using Flock for a couple weeks now and find its additional features quite uselful. Flock makes it extremely easy to keep up on with my friends on the social networking sites that I participate in. I’ve even hacked Flock to work with Firefox Portable from PortableApps.com, so I can run Flock from my thumb drive. Download Flock at Flock.com.
