Is Microsoft Security Essentials Going Away?

I subscribe to the Ask Leo tech blog, written by Leo Notenboom.  As some of you know, I'm a bit of an old timer who appreciates well constructed sentences and organized paragraphs. (Dangling modifers drive me crazy.)  For some reason, which has to go back to our school system, this is a rare skill.  At the risk of losing readers, I recommend following his blog.

In one of his most recent blogs, Time to Stop Using Microsoft Security Essentials ? Leo addresses what turns out to be false information; ie  Microsoft is not going to support MSE.  The article is informative in a number of ways, including how false tech information becomes urban legend, as well an appropriate security configuration for home use.  (MSE + Malwarebytes for Microsoft operating systems through Windows 7)

PS.  MSE technology is embedded in Windows 8.  For more information, read this article.  Some of the responses in that article remind you to NOT install MSE on Windows 8.
