MS Security Essentials vs AVG

Hello,

I and many other users on this forums use MSE, and we all agree it is a very good A\V. I have seen way to many problems with AVG to recommend it to others; I had a memory leak myself.

I recommend MSE because it is fast, lightweight, and does not slow down boot times much.

Your friend gave you some good advice.

Hello,

Please state your reasons.

There are the obvious reasons that it's fast, lightweight and simple to use. However, personally what I like most about MSE is that it feels like a part of Windows 7. Other third-party AV's don't integrate so well with Windows.

Agree 100%. Seems so natural.

I also agree with this.

Want a reason?
Had to work on my daughters PC because my ex was using it and got some kind of trogan phoney enterprise suite virus collection onto it, nice. Avira would not install, Avast would not install, AVG failed, MSE not only installed but cleaned the system and the portable drive. That's all the comparison I need.
One thing that does puzzle me a bit is how MS can roll out MSE and not piss off other vendors by consuming their business.

Thanks for sharing. I'll bet that because the program is relatively new, hackers have not put it on their list of programs to block yet.
