Thanks for your overly detailed post about what is wrong with MSE and specifically what Avast does better. It was quite enlightening.

Just another ignorant MS hater. Ignore him.

100% agree! MSE is just an upgraded version of Windows Defender! Both are crap!

No wonder they don't include MSE in most of the major antivirus tests

I had Microsoft Security Essentials installed on my small sister's computer and she got a few viruses, what is worse, is when you click clean, even though they weren't really viruses just some false positivees in her software folder, MSE wasn't able to delete them, it simply kept displaying the pop up that it found a virus on and on again! I quickly uninstalled that crap.

no, he knows what he's talking about, you are a person who knows nothing about security and have an MSE blindfold on your eyes :whiste:

Let's discuss software without taking it to a personal level. As Eleanor Roosevelt said: Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people. Shoot for at least "average."

I dont need to explain [anything], theres a thread that goes into detail in the software section. I dont hate MS, but now i hate you

We do not allow profanity. Furthermore we do not allow personal attacks. Frankly I don't know why you are so bothered by any of this, since the subject is AV software...
