From: Bobbi on 11 May 2010 21:29 How does MSE compare to major security suites like McAfee, Norton, etc. in both effectiveness and whether it bogs down your computer?

I am using MSE on all my systems and I don't have any reasons to complain. Even my slow machines are running fine with MSE. I originally migrated from AVG and AVAST and I don't regret at all now. hth -- THE INFORMATION IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.

Microsoft did very well on False positives, with only 3 products beating them. Microsoft scanning speed was very slow compared to the others. The hardest part of using the av-comparatives site, is finding the reports :-) Paul
