Yes, but it doesn't detect or remove the malware sent out by the company WINSOFTWARE that puts out the malware "winantivirus".
And Microsoft doesn't make it easy to send them drop files so they can develop better detection sets.

2.7 billion times by at least 270 million unique computers, leading to the removal of 16 million instances of malicious software from 5.7 million unique Windows-based computers over the past 15 months

270,000,000 / 5,700,000 = 2.11%

2,700,000,000 / 16,000,000 = 0.59%

Sixty-two percent of those computers had Trojan horse programs on them.

Oh - so he does know how to do percentages... why that one, and not the others?

I can't order a dishwasher part through Windows / IE due to fear that the spyware will steal my CC #. The list of companies I will never use grows daily as IE allows further spyware exploitation of my web surfing.

I'll have to reformat the hard drive again. Okay, it was my fault for allowing some weasel web site to 'help' me surf the web. Whatever.

MSoft admits that IE has more security faults than Pearl Harbor. No kidding.
