I have two questions re MS Security Essentials (for Win XP)--
1. Must I uninstall Panda Antivirus BEFORE installing MS SE?

2. Looking at downloads for MS SE at two different sites -- one download module is 8.61 MB and the other 4.28 MB. Why? Which should I use?

1. About uninstalling other antivirus programs before installing MS Security Essentials, I read this on one of their forums. Not sure what "at your own discretion" means.

Important: "Having more than one Antivirus installed at the same time can cause stability and performance problems, please uninstall all Third-Party Antivirus applications at your own discretion before installing Microsoft Security Essentials."

2. The different sizes of download modules has to do with which OS one is running, I believe. The 8 MB one is for WinXP which is what I want.
