1152406 2010-11-13 02:00:00 Right, now i've got my pc sorted, i was wondering whether i should remove avast and put MSE on.


I haven't used MSE in a few months due to it making my system come to a halt. Although i now relized that was my hard drive dieing.


So which one should i use?

I need my computer as safe as possible, as it runs most of the day, everyday.

1152409 2010-11-13 02:22:00 And that :p It may still install (depending on WHAT you've installed to circumvent whatever). But it'll probably disable itself, sometime (when you update it) Speedy Gonzales (78)
1152410 2010-11-13 09:08:00 I would still use MSE. It has few false positives and checks files on the run. Though avast was clearly the winner on this comparative: www.av-comparatives.org jonkimnicko (10061)
1152411 2010-11-13 09:19:00 Having just downloaded MSSE I couldn't believe the update could be 59MB. Genuine Check which just checks the OS to see if it is genuine is 1.5MB. What the hell are they using to program this crap. mikebartnz (21)
1152412 2010-11-13 10:20:00 from reading that PDF, it looks like avast is now better than MSE. goodiesguy (15316)
1152413 2010-11-13 10:32:00 Why not suck it and see? Or are you worried that MSE will not work on a pirates version of XP Pro? Snorkbox (15764)
1152414 2010-11-13 19:07:00 Well MSSE has a better detection rate than Avast. pctek (84)

X2 streets ahead but not up to the same standard as Nod
