McAfee vs Microsoft Security Essentials
Quote from: TORPC
I always recommend Avast or Microsoft Security Essentials as the are the 2 best AV's atm
I have just replaced MSE with Norton on my laptop and the initial run after installation it found 22 tracking cookies that MSE didn't spot! I had done a full scan earlier that day too.
I've used Norton for years on my desktop and old laptop without so much as a sniff but thought I'd give MSE a try on my new laptop.
Never again!
Quote from: Oldjim Frankly with the limited amount of testing you are able to do I would label that as opinion not proof
<snip>
How do you conclude what my limitations are / are not.
Do you know how many test rigs I use, how I infect the test rigs, how many people are involved, what testing procedures are used et al ?
Do you know the size of my company, how many employees I have on the books ?
Therefore how can you be judge jury executioner ?
Also do you know what my company specialises in ?
Sorry but i disagree with oldjim , All yes All !! comparison websites are somehow paid for ,, they are not built or run for free , so they have to make money .
Where does the money come from if its AV obviously its from AV company's who pay to have their products tested, so there is no completely unbiased view .
you only quote from what they say , not from what you know to be true .
Ok i agree MSE may not be the best there is ,,, But it definitely not the worse .
Norton is Good but defiantly the worse at slowing your system down , i used to use AVG but now i wont touch it , Comodo which you use is really good and was impressed for the year i used it , but dont like the idea of maybe some Russian hacking getting inside my PC.
For a average user there is nothing simpler to use with decent results than MSE , and its free !!
it cant be that bad, as there has been several on this forum who agree with me and use MSE .
maybe we should have a topic just to see who use what ? maybe a surprise to your AV test site
