Excellent free product 4 stars by Nicholas Mar 24, 2013 (Read all my 53 reviews)
I could not use the paid version of Avast because the built-in firewall conflicted with my PrivateFirewall V.7 which is so good that I never want to uninstall it. So I looked for an alternative and found MS Essentials. It is a good and reliable product. I use it with pleasure. showShow review details
Small download - highly rated 5 stars by dvdshonna96 Nov 22, 2012 (Read all my 5 reviews)
Don't know how MSE stays so small. Less than 11MB program download. Currently the total size of virus and spyware definitions is 66MB. Total: 77MB for program and definitions, and MSE rates as well as the most bloated antivirus programs for detection and removal of virusesspyware. Avast 95MB+ 72MB definitions (Total: 167MB). I've used MSE and Avast extensively. Minor problems with Avast. MSE has been foolproof. The only negative with MSE is the slow "full scan" (40 min on my current PC setup). showShow review details
MSE is the best...period 5 stars by ltgargaz367 May 26, 2012
I've tried them all. MSE is simply superior. About once every 4 months, I'll run Malwarebytes as a double check, but my first line of defense is and will be MSE. showShow review details
