You can run MSE along with Immunet and Panda Cloud Antivirus without having much use of resources also on same cpu you can install MBAM + SAS + Spywareblaster + Spyware Terminator + Spybot S & D 1.6 + Lavasoft Ad-aware as on demand scan which all are free to download and use.
Microsoft should need to add web protection(web guard or you can say web shield) in MSE and also needs to change its logo because logo of MSE looks very ugly otherwise its good free antivirus.
With many AV programs from 3rd party vendors we experience complex and menus that have too many options that confuse the non-geek type of user. And best of all, it feels like a part of the operating system, simple, unobtrusive. Not a patched on sluggish 3rd party application. Way to go MS!! This is good stuff and everyone needs to at least give it a try.
I see no need for a extra retail AV suite now. I always used to rec AV like mcaffe and norton and others to friends. And they constantly complained about resource usage and subscriptions and tedious interfaces. But MSE, they absolutely love it and ACTUALLY RECOMMEND it to their buddies. The low resource usage **AND** a clear & concise user interface is a real hoot to boot! Trouble free ease of use is paramount when venturing into the world of mal-ware. Mcaffe/Norton were just huge juggernauts.
@MrLolhacks what a rouge does is made to look like your computer is filled with viruses and makes you upgrade which costs like 50$ so in short terms its just to make money and scam you
@UnofficialEminem well, if you got a trojan downloader or a traditional virus that makes copies of itself then yes. A new computer can get infected quite easily, especially if you went a week or two w/out an antivirus program.
@Champion0fTheGods sort of but the bottom right something came up the security essentials block it or they detect it in your computer means the virus already downloaded on your computer?
you sure this is legit? cuz every so often i will have a window randomly pop up called microsoft security essentials saying i have a potential threat and it asks me to "clean computer" to remove the threat. is this some trick or is it ok to trust it???
I currently use AVAST free and MALWAREBYTES PRO version.Both provide "real time" protection,as does security essentials.
Both avast and malwarebytes prevent any nasties from installing in the first place---while security essentials seems to partially let the nasties in since when it finds one it has to be cleaned.
@pompste You should notice that when the review was done, MS:SE was in BETA, as stated. Its gotten extremely solid now, been using it for a year, and have had no problems with viruses, trojans etc.
@pompste Just using the Windows Firewall, works good enough, also, the router's these days (most of em) has a decent firewall built into it, so its enough with the windows one, im sure.
@pompste What? SO, Are you using Avast+MBAM in real time+ a special firewall??? WHY? It's must be slowing down your PC as hell(or at least, it's much more slower than it's standard speed).....And by the way why do you need these extra protections???!?
You should watch less malicious porn sites.......
(sorry 4 my english, but i think you'll understand this...).
I just have AVAST & MBAM PRO in realtime with windows xp built in one way firewall.They don`t slow down my pc at all since i have Avast set to "ignore" Mbam.I prefer the extra protection--i know many others who run the same set up as mine and are happy with it.
@pompste Windows XP?........Then, you just have to download a light AV with a good firewall like ESET( XP firewall is garbage).....Currently, your both AV has no firewall(Avast have web shield, but its not the same....)
If you need a simple but good protection, I also recommend MSE, it's enought 95% of the time(now Im also using it :P)
@ihavebieberfever409 yea this antivirus is awesome but it is not recommended to protect you from most dangerous threats...because it misses several threats!
hay i was trying to download MSE yesterday and i kept seeing this pop up talking about putting a Microsoft antimalware disk in the cd-rom how do you get rid of it so i can use mse
is there any place that one could download the program without going through a validation for windows? a pirated version? ... (ps. pirating software is a horrible thing)
@jad3948 Do u have windows 7 or xp?Because if u have xp i found on some page or forum how you can install mse without validation..but you must have xp
@MrJeansy95 Yes, I know, but it's surprising from Microsoft, because their previous security softwares(Windows Defender, Firewall) were just ornaments.........
The great thing about MSE is that it uses LOW system resources. For example, I play KUMA WAR (see my channel) and I did a FULLSCAN with MSE and it not cause any lag whatsoever. MSE is very very good. A good switch from AVG Free Edition...or any free anti-virus etc. software that is out there.
is it a good antivirus cause i love my AVAST or is it substandard like any other Microsoft free essential product like windows movie maker or windows photo gallery ??
@mrizos does any AV ever keep or track what youre surfing on the internet? im just curious cuz i wanna wut the heck happens on my computer when im gone lol.....(some relatives like 2 play on it)
dear i have to install microsoft security essentials bt it require validate your copy of microsoft windows so wht i do plz help me i installed avg it delete files thts why i want to uninstall it and right now i want to install microsoft security essentials i think its the best antivirus than avg antivirus
@IKmatli2010 you can install Avast if if cannot install Microsof Security essential...Avast is way better then AVG and can be used on unActivated Copies of windows !!
if i install 2 antivirus on my PC and my PC will slow down?plz tell me if it will slow down i d delete one and Microsoft Security essentials is good but i d want to delete it bcoz i have other one :)
I'd say that this is the best for a free anti-virus. Of course, it IS free so it won't be perfect. I'm not sure what many of you guys do to get infected. If you're visiting very common websites (common like Youtube), just don't be stupid to download anything you see and you'll be fine. That includes pop-ups. JUST press the X on the window, some will automatically download if you just touch the window anywhere else.
@MrFavorite01 well yeah, everyone knows it, but too many people downloads cracks and keygens, some of those work 100% perfectly but some don't work at all, because they have some kind of god damn viruses, and then they come complain in forums how they got virus from nowhere...
MSE kills my computer while it is updating and for five minutes after. When I can't switch windows or open or close programs, I know MSE update is at work. During a scan, the computer is 20% functional. No virus it ever had has slugged the poor machine so hard.
@pompste Well this comment is 9 months ago a friend of mine recently installed MSE on his pc and he says that they have improved it alot =) but avast is still better ^^

@Coi1221 Drive-by is when you enter the website you get infected straight away without having to click anything. Sality is also known as virut it patches alot of Executables and Dlls
microsoft security essentials is good for lite internet usage, it doesn't detect all malware... I have used it and a virus infected my computer. I uninstalled it and installed nod32 and solved that prob.
@rubseman I had install this on a computer already infected and virus won't let it update or clean infected file. so most mostly you are already infected. try different problem. works good once computer is clean then install again
@mayank6169 It never sucked for me. But make sure you did a clean install. If your computer is still slow install a new AV. I would recomend COMODO internet security.
I Have been using it now for 3 Months & I Love it My Computer is Faster Microsofts Automatic Updates are working Fine, It's as Good as adding Ram & I'm fairly sure it will not do any damage to my computer, Norton on the otherhand has done damage to my Hardware in the past & AVG Restricts your Computer, While this Is Like Giving the Computer wings. Love It !!!!!!!!!!!
@silvybling Dude, Norton Frickin destroyed my explorer.exe file and wiped my HDD trying to restore the file. Wow. Now i've had to reinstall everything.
I have superantivirus and windows security essentials and I searched for viruses on superantivirus and it found 12 threats then I scanned with windows security essentials and it found none
it might be my computer but it worked for six months until it it started crashing my "uninstall or change a program" on my computer and the quick scans took like 20 minutes. i uninstalled and installed again but it was the same. it worked good until that happen.
@xxdeejinxx I'd say it's a little easier to use than Avast 5 (but a whole lot easier than 4.x).But "better" than Avast overall? That is up for debate. I'd still use Avast over MSE for now.
If Microsoft Security Essentials is based on RAV antivirus, a product acquired by MS in 2003, then this is offering a very good advanced protection.
RAV antivirus, was a top antivirus software, when BitDefender was AVP aka just on-demant scaner, RAV was a complete antivirus protection solution, it was popular even on Linux platforms. My advice is to use MSE, if you whant a free antivirus, hell its powerd by RAV :) I salute all old rav users !
Youre a fucking retarded faggot arent you? I made that comment 3 weeks ago. Whats the point of telling me not to watch the video now? What a fucking stupid ass faggot.
oh no. Everyone please help me decide. I have to choose Microsoft Security Essentials Or Norton Internet Security 2009. Please help me decide. I already have Norton and it is slow SOMETIMES so do i go to Microsoft?
Go Norton Security 2010, dude. It's actually much better than previous versions of Norton. But if you don't feel like paying, go for Microsoft Security Essentials.
if you have these microsoft security essential,your computer will protected even if u have no other anti-virus like(eset nod32 4)????thank u and regardz.
I have had this since i first got my computer. At first i had norton and well its good, but... on iTunes it will give you a error saying could not connect. I researched and i found that i needed to unstall the program. Even though i spent money. I should've known to download microsoft security essentials, the day i got my computer. I'm glad i downloaded it. it detected a trojan in my program.(iTunes Giftcard Generator)
I love security essentails i had it for years i had scanned my computer with malwarbytes and others and i never had a virus.

@mayank6169 It never sucked for me. But make sure you did a clean install. If your computer is still slow install a new AV. I would recomend COMODO internet security.

I Have been using it now for 3 Months & I Love it My Computer is Faster Microsofts Automatic Updates are working Fine, It's as Good as adding Ram & I'm fairly sure it will not do any damage to my computer, Norton on the otherhand has done damage to my Hardware in the past & AVG Restricts your Computer, While this Is Like Giving the Computer wings. Love It !!!!!!!!!!!

it might be my computer but it worked for six months until it it started crashing my "uninstall or change a program" on my computer and the quick scans took like 20 minutes. i uninstalled and installed again but it was the same. it worked good until that happen.

Is it better than avast
NikolaGB 1 year ago
@NikolaGB Yes much better and has a easier-to-use interface.
xxdeejinxx 1 year ago
@xxdeejinxx I'd say it's a little easier to use than Avast 5 (but a whole lot easier than 4.x).But "better" than Avast overall? That is up for debate. I'd still use Avast over MSE for now.

Can you run SuperAntiSpyware with Microsoft Security Essentials?
casioplayer 1 year ago
@casioplayer Yes the free version of SuperAntiSpyware works great with Microsoft Security Essentials, I use those 2 on my laptop.

If Microsoft Security Essentials is based on RAV antivirus, a product acquired by MS in 2003, then this is offering a very good advanced protection.
RAV antivirus, was a top antivirus software, when BitDefender was AVP aka just on-demant scaner, RAV was a complete antivirus protection solution, it was popular even on Linux platforms. My advice is to use MSE, if you whant a free antivirus, hell its powerd by RAV :) I salute all old rav users !

oh no. Everyone please help me decide. I have to choose Microsoft Security Essentials Or Norton Internet Security 2009. Please help me decide. I already have Norton and it is slow SOMETIMES so do i go to Microsoft?

Norton 2009.. of course go with the more recent one.
Theonegamefreak 1 year ago
Go Norton Security 2010, dude. It's actually much better than previous versions of Norton. But if you don't feel like paying, go for Microsoft Security Essentials.

and when i went to play flash game

It's funny that most free antivirus programs are actually better than the paid ones.
the only good paid antivirus in my opinion is KIS 2010

You call THIS a fantastic product??? That is the worst user experience I have ever seen in a video review.
I love how you fail to mention that "potentially unwanted software" means anything that Microsoft deems illegal. "Anti-everything" indeed.

I have had this since i first got my computer. At first i had norton and well its good, but... on iTunes it will give you a error saying could not connect. I researched and i found that i needed to unstall the program. Even though i spent money. I should've known to download microsoft security essentials, the day i got my computer. I'm glad i downloaded it. it detected a trojan in my program.(iTunes Giftcard Generator)
