Microsoft Security Essentials to ship Sept 29th… apparently

I tried to install this but cancelled at the validation/WGA screen as I'm unsure if my Windows 7 will pass..

Should Windows 7 which is activated using Hazar's 7loader 1.5 pass this validation/WGA?..

 

Yes Avira as active antivirus and MSE as passive one.

 

Yes, tried it myself.

 

But the version I use is original from Microsoft!! How to explain that?

 

u need to uninstall ur older one before installing the final version..

 

zzz you NEVER got that build from MS (since it was leaked). And check signatures, do you belive that HIGHER version that was digitaly signed (if i rememeber correctly) around 14th june is actualy NEWER then "offical" final version signed 14th of september just because VERSION is higher?

 

Is this better then avira ? and does it block sites like this one ?

 

No it doesn't.

So, let me ask. Is laggy at all during scans or when it updates or is it a resource hog?

 

Processor wise...not a resource hog.
Took up about 50MB of RAM though.
Yah....hate the part about SpyNet.

 

I kinda like it, it runs smooth...but what about that cheap ass icon...a castle/fortress....come on it's 2009

 

The icon is a question of taste...
As long as the program does what it's supposed to do.

 

So what do you recommend guys??

Should I install this and remove my NOD32 AV? lol

I am Kinda Confused?!?!?

 

Personally, I will still stick with EAV v4 instead of this.

 

I've tested it mate.. it ain't no good.. detection rate is not good..

I'll suggest stay with nod32 or if u wanna go for freeware then let it be avira

 

You should definately get rid of NOD32 as soon as possible. MSE is the best antivirus software out there. I have been using it for three months and have never had any problems. I won't look for any other security software ever again.

 

Yep I would say the same thing, also a complete scan takes hours, 8 hours for me where avira only take 3 hours maximum.
