A place to keep my work.
gots me a screamer
Published on September 14, 2011 By Uvah In Personal Computing

Been awhile but I finally got me a nother laptop. HP Compac 8510w. Intel Centrino dual core 17500 @ 2.2 gHz, 2 gigs ram, 150 gig HD, 1920 x 1200 resolution screen, nVidia control panel. Ccleaner...MalwareBytes...MSE and everything is up to date. Sweet machine for $180.00 US refurbished. Win 7 Enterprise Edition. I don't know what that is, 64 bit. Gonna get back into stuff just as soon as I get it set up. Question...will my 320 gig HD from the other HP be compatible with this one. Can I swap it out?

I've read reviews from many reputable sources that state MSE has a slow detection engine. I got rid of MSE because the auto updates can't be turned off and I don't like anything updating on it's own. Use Avast or AVG. Both get better marks.

I got rid of Avast because it says my widgets and gadgets contain malware and it puts them in the vault.

AVG is a resource hog.

MSE has been working fine here since it was released.

 

Just my own experience.

I also use Panda Cloud Antivirus on my Vista rig. Seems to do fine.

Absolutely NOT true. Looks like AVG on my system is using less than 2 MB of RAM.

Yeah most of the processes are. it says the same for Firefox even though I'm using it right now. I wasn't accessing any files on my drive at that second so that's probably why.

I was wondering today what was going on with you. It's good to have you back.

I know it means nothing, Kona. I just found it amusing. Got it from another thread...lol.

All I can say is I have been using MSE for a few months now and I have not found it to be slow at detection. I had downloaded a couple infected files at different times and detection happened both times before they had completely downloaded. The best security is to stay away from deviantart.
