Microsoft Security Essential is better than avira and kasperskey....i think it works properly.and don't slow the computer when windows start..i like it.Tank u MICROSOFT....
Having used Windows Live Onecare in the past, and having slight issues with it over the time i had it, from backup not working right at times. I have to say Microsoft Security Essentials is the least intrusive antivirus out at the moment, working good on my Vista Desktop, and now 4 XP machines.
On the Second XP machine had the beta on there since it was released, and had to be one of the most stable Beta's i've ever used in recent memory. I did beta test Onecare when they released that, but had a boot sector on my test machine then, and unforuately missed alot of the testing time trying to fix that, when really i could've had it fixed sooner back then if i had known it was a boot sector virus causing all the issues.
So in conclusion i do plan on staying with Security Essentials
Even runs good on very old XP Desktop with these specs
Pentium 3 700
120mbs of ram
320gb hard drive
onboard video
Great, I was using MICROSOFT SECURITY ESSENTIAS, it's really wonderful, my computer become faster, and enjoy to use it, after I use antivirus MICROSOFT SECURITY ESSENTIALS, thank to microsoft.
I read about this in the newspaper and tried it out. Uses the most minimal resources and does the job. I highly recommend this to anyone over almost every other program out there.
