Now I see why this site has been telling most people to ONLY use ms essentials, I hope you are not getting a "push" from microsoft to do that.

If you're not joking then shine your tin foil hat somewhere else. These are hard working volunteers who have earned their awards through some of the best tech support anywhere to be found. They have helped build this site to the top independent support site online.

Those of us who work in the trenches here learn by osmosis what works best with the OS many of us have been with since before beta. We popularized 3rd party tools like Partition Wizard when MS Disk Mgmt was lacking. Likewise we fell away from co-recommending Avast when MSE outperformed it and/or bothered us a lot less.

To be "onboard" with MS right now is to be focused only on Windows 8, which truly tests the loyalty of some of us who are grateful for their recognition. We remain in the trenches for Win7 because we believe it is the best OS ever, and let the chips fall where they may.

I can quite honestly say the only things I've ever received from MSFT was a bag of Jelly beans and a grow your own chillies kit


Tight arses!!!!!!!

If you throw them out of the window - in the morning you will have a giant beanstalk.

BTW - I don't like MSE at all.

Much prefer Avast.

Ok cool, not a prob then.
