I have been unable to detect any slow-down on my PC using MS Security. Plus, the install is smooth and the start-up is quick and flawless. The price is right and it is Microsoft. Give it a try.

I'd already reviewed the MSE for Vista/7...I have put this on a bunch of XP machines for friends. Works GREAT and I like that they won't bug me in a year for re-registration or renewing the product. You barely notice that it's there most of the time, but it seems to catch any viruses on the system. Winner. 21778

Having read a good review, of Microsoft Security Essentials in a computer mag., I thought I would add this extra layer of security to my PC. Downloading and installation of MSE presented no issues. Once installed successfully, there were no conflicts with other programs. However, it became instantly apparent that it slowed my PC down, quite considerably, in terms of opening/closing programs and general overall functioning. On the first occasion of 'Shutting Down' and 'Rebooting' my PC, MSE failed to load at 'StartUp', which didn't exactly impress! I assess software very quickly and in view of system slowness and failure to load on 'StartUp', this software was uninstalled as quickly as it was installed on my PC. I, personally, believe that while there is nothing essentially "wrong" with MSE, there is a real good range of 'Freebies' 'out there' to provide good layers of protection, as suitable alternatives. 21634
