[THX1205]

I got a nasty virus with this Security Essentials Anti Virus! This Anti Virus couldn’t stop it! It will only protect your PC from small manageable viruses!

[boblp2499]

Very good Video Recoder

@HAR333777 If I had a choice, I'd choose bird flu over AVG.

[Aztech355]

I'm going to have to look into this thanks!

[FlakyAnimals]

microsoft security essentials tracks down adware

[ShallNeverSurrender7]

AVG is the worst security software

eset smart security 4 is the best and i liked Microsoft security essentials it's great too.

[noiseasertivo]

essentials is really bad microsoft does not clear the virus avast door and 5.0 if

[reddogbeer]

lol

[kineth023]

hey dude . is it compatible on your computer if you have installed avg 9.0 ?

[videogames73]

you only want this for avg so it can complete the avg's official version things like rootkits and you dont need to worry about gaming, yet it doesnt beat avg when it comes to most viruses and spyware, so its avg's second line of defence

[dresskid]

i have AVG INTERNET SECEURITY and MICROSOFT DECEURITY ESSENTIALS

and i fell safe....what do you think?

:)

[uiehoga]

@dresskid AVG is a massive resource hog and you will notice that if your playing games depending on your hardware specs. I use MSE and threatfire and they are working perfectly. ^^

[lim3lly]

@dresskid TRY MSE & Malwarebytes! &it saves you ram.

[hyder7nh]

hey how do u get like dat wen u press alt+tab

wen i press it sumtimes its like dat

and sumtimes its normal,like a dock...

wat setting do i use to always keep it like dat

do i need to switch of The feature that changes d wallpaper every prefered minutes?

plz tell

[RoboWaffles]

AVG Free is useless, it uses such outdated definitions that you are fooled into believing that you're being protected but in reality it just isn't sophisticated enough to see any of the actual viruses on your computer.

99/100 computers with viruses I fix up have AVG Free installed. You might as well use no anti virus on your computer if you're going to use AVG. At least that way you'll try and be more careful when online.

As for MSEss, quite easily the best free anti virus you can download

[TweetReece]

Does it protect against rootkits and is it better (in your opinion) than Avast?

[TheTechKid101]

yes mse protects against rootkits and i like this better than avast because it has a good background scanner.

[hornymanonfire]

@TheTechKid101 Wrong, it doesn't protect against rookits, it purely relies on signatures, doesn't even have proactive defense (like registry defense)

[Yosika123]

Well i am using Mc Affee aswell you think i should uninstall/disable because it's taking ages to start up ?

[mitsostsagka]

Is this slowing down the PC? Especially at games?

[TheTechKid101]

@mitsostsagka no not really the only time it slows down is during start up so make sure it fully loads before using your computer. Once it loads, you shouldn't feel a difference.

[mitsostsagka]

Thanks but, I can't download it because I'm from Greece!

[jckob1231]

@TheTechKid101

I agree!

[mitsostsagka]

Nice wallpaper. I think you shouldn't expect much from a free Antivirus... Especially, when is made by Microsoft! LOL!

[justinpacman]

MSSE is the most up to date anti-virus program and windows defender is the most up to date anti-spyware program

[fransie07]

my mcafee ends in 2 months

do i have to remove mcafee first ore can they run together?

thanks

[TheTechKid101]

if mcafee runs in the background of your computer, then i recommend removing the program first before installing this one.

[Mr1Yade]

ii have thats virus prog. thats is tha best!

[rojitas2381]

thank you good job explaining

[orawas]

Thanks for going over the interface and everything... Would've been helpful to compare scanning speed with the likes of AVG among others, and maybe even testing it with real malicious files... But overall a good quick intro to MSSE...

[TheTechKid101]

thanks.. i look forward into doing comparisons between different anti virus programs.
