MSE didn't do to good on Prevention but did OK on cleaning up afterwards.

They tested Microsoft Security Essentials 2.1, not 4.0. MSE 4 is a lot better than 2.1. I have done my own tests with MSE 4.0 and it does very well. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Pavilion P7-1010 OS Windows 7 Professional x64 Service Pack 1 CPU AMD Athlon X4 645 Motherboard Foxxcon N-Alvorix RS880 Memory 6GB DDR3 1066 Graphics Card Sapphire Radeon HD 5670 512MB Sound Card Realtek Integrated Audio Monitor(s) Displays HP 2011x Screen Resolution 1600x900 Keyboard HP OEM- Made by Chicony Mouse HP OEM- Made by Logitech PSU Seasonic S12 II Bronze 380 Watt Case HP OEM Cooling Coolermaster Heatsink, AVC Case Fan Hard Drives 1.

I think MSE 4.0 came out about 2 months ago, or close to that. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 |

I assume the next test cycle will be May/June. Lets hope MSE 4 makes it to the starting line. I wonder what will happen with Windows 8 as Windows Defender (new name for MSE) will be included with the OS. Hope they can test it also when Windows 8 is released.
