835362 2010-05-12 05:35:00 i will MSE and avast run along side each other?

Should but its not a good idea to run 2 AV programs, on the same system (at the same time)

835363 2010-05-12 05:50:00 You probably won't get any serious problems but with two realtime scanners you will get an bigger impact on disk performance. Agent_24 (57)
835364 2010-05-18 16:02:00 I don't like any programmes I install to do automatic updates. Can auto updating in MSSEs be turned off so that I can do them when I want to? HHGTTG (15480)
835365 2010-05-18 19:18:00 Just had a quick look and I don't think you can, this is one piece of software that needs to update itself if you want to stay protected, otherwise you are wasting your time having it gary67 (56)
835366 2010-05-19 00:24:00 x2 what Gary67 said.

What's the point in having an Antivirus if you don't want it updated as soon as possible?

Of course I want it updated as soon as it has been installed but I am still on dial-up and constant updating in the background slows surfing down and is a pain in the proverbial. I'd like to select to manual update every few days or so - it's quite reasonable, I think.

835368 2010-05-19 12:09:00 Fair enough if you're on Dialup, but an Antivirus with several day old definitions isn't going to be useful against new threats Agent_24 (57)
835369 2010-05-27 09:41:00 Hi I have Windows XP Professional (bought the PC of my wifes business) and I don't think MSE works with this version. Any suggestions? Avast started to hog the CPU so I thought I would look for something new although reinstalling Avast might solve the problem? Cheers. Danger (287)
835370 2010-05-27 09:43:00 MSE should work with xp pro. i put it on a mates laptop which had XP pro goodiesguy (15316)
