Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows 7
Anybody running Microsoft's Security Essentials on Windows 7 x64?
I did a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (retail upgrade) and after doing all my installs I installed Microsoft's Security Essentials. At first I did a "quick scan and it took like 10 minutes, however doing a full scan took at least 8.5 hours! This is going through 10 partitions on 3 hard drives.
By contrast Kaspersky takes about 60 minutes or less to do a full system scan the same system.
Is there a problem with MSE doing full scans and has anyone else noticed this.
On the positive side I visited a website posted by a forum member on one of the game forums I visit and MSE flag a file trying to install itself on my computer. Good job.
