Had to disable checking of jpg and gif files. Otherwise the computer would lock up with folders containing lots of graphics. 21933

Microsoft is starting to take some initiative in protecting Windows users and providing a decent free application to do it. I am running Ubuntu and have Windows XP installed in a VirtualBox session. I did not want to pay for protection, and since I have a valid XP license, I was able to install this. For the little use I have it for in VirtualBox, it works out great. 21763

This is a very good and easy to use program to take and scan and detect for malware and other spyware etc. Highly recommended, have not had any problems running this program and it has protected my laptop as well as my desktop from any crap being installed on it. Another nice feature is that you can take and schedule scans on your PC and set the day and time etc. Been using this program for a few months now on all my machines and have not had ONE piece of spyware nor malware on my computers, this is a really nice program. No complaints or cons at this time. 21744

I am running this on my Win 7 RC box and it performs very well, using few resources and remaining unobtrusive. I installed it on my wife's XP laptop and it must have conflicted with something as it just made the laptop completely freeze as soon as it booted. Upon removal of MSE from the laptop and the return of AntiVir, all was back to normal. It is well worth a try though.

Unlike the last reviewer, I find this prog to be very fast on the several computers that I have installed it on. Easy to use, no registration required. Good basic protection, especially for not-so-savvy users. 21562

I used this software when it was in came out in beta back in June 30, 2009 and tested it for a few months. It ran and performed great, easy to use updates a few times a day, found viruses like Trojan downloaders that tried to get into my computer and stopped them from getting in! Keeps out viruses, spyware, malware. People have reviewed it on Youtube for several months now and PC magazine and it does do a excellent job at keeping viruses, spyware, malware, out of your computer. Its an anti-malware product that works great at keeping your computer virus spyware free. My advice to all computer users, use this security product! Unlike other free products, it has anti- rootkit technology built in for better protection! 21516
