If you like to tweak the anitivirus software then you won't like MSE at all, because it has very few options. But I prefer antivirus softwares which don't get in my face all the time. MSE is like install-and-foget.
When it comes to free AVs, nothing beats Avira AntiVir. You will find that in practically each and every halfways professionally done AV Test...
Like I said a custom made one which disables the activaiton however correction it will need to be run a little bit afterward so as windows update still works....
Yea free ani virus kinda blows cause it just doesn't work that well you have to pretty much swarm the viruses to death with them and that degrades the performance of your computer and Norton kinda sux with stuff in that regard... i have no need to worry about such petty issues like WAT (IE 971033 KB) they are nothing to me... When I have worries about KB let me know cause I'm not worryin... UPDATE: Details of WISH ALPHA 6 / BETA 1 removed
I'll uninstall MSE if necessary, but I do think it's a very good anti-virus program. Super low system resources are used and it's very non-obtrusive. I would prefer to keep it, but the only thing is if it knocks Windows out of genuine, then there's no point in keeping it. I don't know if there's a way to disable it from doing that or from blocking something at some point in their genuine checks, if they do indeed check.
This is completely off topic well not really but worth the pun... WAT's there to worry about... Ok I'm done now thats all i wanted to say..
I use win 7 ultimate+daz loader. MSE has installed and run without a hitch every time. I do not know what is the problem with your system.
Well, it took about 4-5 months for the first computer to deactivate. The next one deactivated a month after that. These computers are also constantly running. Deactivation doesn't begin after an update. Deactivation begins after an actual full restart (computer is hibernated most of the time). The only thing I can guess is MSE or Win7 phones home periodically. MSE worked GREAT for months on end. But it wasn't until an extended time period that I started to get deactivations and I don't know why.
