MSE has worked flawlessly for me for the past few months. Prior to that I
had used AVAST! for several years and it, too worked great. However, MSE
does both the AV and the Anti- spyware jobs nicely with very small resource
usage.

I also use the Windows firewall and do Malwarebytes, SUPERAntiSpyware and
SpyBot S&D weekly late night off-line scans. Sort of a belt, suspenders and
thumbtack approach but it works well for me.

You are a clever little b(a)stard to notice this. For your added
information, I use Avast and MSE. Nothing else. Does that satisfy you.

Perhaps tomorrow I will have a new username if that is OK with you. Can
you sister s u c k my c0ck now?

From time to time, I wonder why people enquire for a
_free_ antivirus program. I'd think that second only to
a thoroughly reliable backup and restore program, the
protection of a good antivirus program is something
worth investing actual money in. For instance, if
nobody is being paid to constantly update the software
and the antivirus (and presumably spyware) databases
it uses, where is the assurance of quality and reliability?


MHO.

You're quite out of touch. Most of the free anti-virus programs have
for-cost equivalents, and both use the same detection engine and
database.
