Somewhat technical question: when setting up a new Windows 7 machine, is there realistically anything wrong with going with just Microsoft Security Essentials and the Windows Firewall as security software?

@bitshift If you know what you're doing, not really. I've been using that for years.

@bitshift I do it. On a corporate scale, even.

@bitshift Besides Microsoft Security Essentials being a slow program and updating somewhat slowly for new virus definitions, not really.

@omni @ceruleanspark @minti Excellent. Was mostly looking for confirmation of what I seemed to vaguely remember having heard, but it's good to hear that I'm not doing something stupid. :)

@bitshift Oh, you're probably doing SOMETHING stupid. You just don't know what it is yet.
-
@ceruleanspark Well, anything more stupid than normal, anyway. :)

@bitshift I find stupidity typically manifests itself just as you pass the point of no return on a particularly stupid action.

@bitshift I think the former might be a vunerable piece of cake sat in an empty room with pinkie pie, I might be thinking of different software, not a DOS kinda guy
