Those are my thoughts anyways...

Though this is the latest 1.43 version of MABM. I am wondering if it was MBAM causing the issues as the 1.42 version reportedly had a bit of a memory leak issue.. Though looking at an email communication for a fiends PC with similar issue, which was at end of November, it cannot be the same problem for him (1.42 was not released until December). Though it would be right dates for problems with my PC (I only switched to 64-bit Windows 7 at the start of the month which is when I started testing AV software again). I have converted a lot of users to MSE from Avira, Avast and some AVG this month too, who all reported various, but minor issues. Some but not all were running MBAM too but I am unsure if any had the resident MBAM running (I doubt it as they are not the sort to spend money on software of this type). I have got Avira and MBAM on my laptop but don't have a licence to run the real-time protection on it now (as licence is in use on my PC). I suppose what I could do is uninstall MSE from my PC and try it again with Avira and with/without MSE but am reluctant to do so while it is all running so well (and also it is so unobtrusive). Maybe after the holiday.

Since the *overwhelming* majority of those who have installed MSE do not experience any problems, I would have to say any that do, have a user issue more than anything else. |
