Microsoft Security Essentials

[Harold_Shand]

My Dell Inspiron shit itself with a stupid fucking fault that means I may as well buy a new computer. So I've gone for a little netbook as all I use a computer for is BCF and as a jukebox when I'm pissed at home. It's a Toshiba NB200 which I paid £250 for.

All besides the point really, but there's nothing on telly. Always used AVG on mine and the wifes computers, but what's the free Microsoft one like, anyone using it?

Harold_Shand's theory might be the best explanation.

Other forums are raving about how good it is and it is usually the first one thrown up nowadays when someone asks for a free security suite. Don't think you can go far wrong with it.

Well I was told it was good, not intrusive like AVG with updates and whatnot.

Very quick scanning but didn't find spyware that ohter software I use did find.

Superantispyware is the best one I have ever used and I use it in conjunction with MSE. If I have a virus or spyware one should tell me.

It's supposed to be a lot better than some paid for anti-virus programmes.

Microsoft Defender ? Never had any problems with it.

MSE is light, fast and easy to use. I'm keeping super anti spyware for a weekly scan though. There's plenty of videos on youtube.
