Though I’m surprised that you included McAfee
which, even though I’ve uninstalled (like so many others), its files refuses to vanish even with
special erasing apps!
More power to WOMP sir!

You and Bill have me sold… I need to take a good “look see” of Security Essentials. Thanks for your input…

I have to agree with Bill on MS products. Previously their poor detection rates have given them a poor name, but I am also beta testing MSE and it’s a good all rounder for protection. I’ve compared it with IOBit Security 360 and Panda Cloud and Microsoft win hands down.

With Security Essentials they have a winner and are also working alongside Alwil to ensure compatibility with Avast 5, also in Beta. Once fully released I’m sure that it will be a keeper for many users, plus it’s free :)

Thanks for your valuable comment. If you say it is good, THEN, it is good. I retract my previous comment about Microsoft and their attempts at security products. I really do think Microsoft has been making a turn-around with Windows 7, etc… As always, Thank you!

Great list and I have linked back to it, but I can’t agree with your comment on Microsoft’s security products.

I am one of 70,000 beta testers for MS Security Essentials and in my view, and in the view of a number of test labs, this product excels at both protection and removal.

Just as Microsoft has done a terrific job with Win 7, they have managed to develop a winner in Security Essentials.

Bill
