Should I uninstall my current A/V or just leave it? I did notice it disables Windows Defender. I assume this replaces it. |

Re: [Info] Microsoft Security Essentials BETA Released fwiw;
noticed my vista taskmanger after boot was normally about 35% phy mem usage ,, dropped to 30% as compaired to Avast & boots slighly faster and the start up process's settles down the hdd light blinking considerably faster.
Seems ok.. was a 2hr full scan on my lightly loaded dual core laptop.
PCAdviser uk website says only available to first 75,000 users .. haven't seen that mentioned anywhere else. |

Interestingly enough, it did NOT turn off Windows Defender on my Vista PC.

I find this *irresistible*... The beta for MS Anti-Spyware found two "infections" on my clean computer -- both on Genuine Microsoft Windows" CD's....
Anyone for a "false positives" pool?
I have 1.5 TB of files I'll let it scan...

I'll start the contest off, and say 3.

Re: [Info] Microsoft Security Essentials BETA Released said by howie1:Should I uninstall my current A/V or just leave it? I did notice it disables Windows Defender. I assume this replaces it. 2 AV's running at the same time causes issues. Most manufacturers recommend you uninstall your present AV while trying another one. You should at least disable your primary as a resident. Keep us posted. |

I'm still running Windows Live OneCare on 3 machines. I'm paid till November. Would it make sense to dump that and go with this Beta software?
Also, does this new software allow you to network printers on-the-fly like Win Live OneCare?
Thanks... I'll keep reading up on this new software too...

Re: [Info] Microsoft Security Essentials BETA Released What a POS! That "thing" gave me a dozen blue screens and I got to a point that my box had about three minutes of life until it died.
System restore helped some, but I have been "rebuilding" it for about four hours.
No thanks MS; I will keep what I got.

Re: [Info] Microsoft Security Essentials BETA Released I have a few months left on my KIS sub so I'll wait and install this after it expires... I grabbed all the available versions being offered today and archived them so it should be good to go when I need it..
Seen some wildly varying responses here and on the net to be sure from ppl already using it... seems like this shaping up to be one of those 'love it' or 'hate it' products w/ very little middle ground in between.
Thanks for the post or else I'd have forgotten about this |

Interestingly enough it did turn Windows Defender off on my Vista x64 machine. Don't know why it didn't turn it off on the 32 bit one.
