    Following on from the discussion the other day about security stuff, this seems a good free tool. Windows Update is installing it as I speak. Is it something new or is it a newer version of summat that's been around for a bit. If so has anyone used it and does it do the job?

    RE: Ive used it for years

    Just read the help guide. Windows Update downloads a new version every month so it will have been on my computer all the time. Just the first time I've actually noticed it among the Windows Updates, but then again I don't usually take much notice what it's downloading. It runs quietly in the background and you only know its there if it discovers something.
