After reading about Microsoft Security Essentials I decided to install it.
I still have McAfee suite running and will just wait and see what happens.
Anyone have any issues int he past?

UAC to Default

I manually scan and run the following every week or so.
SpyBot Search and Destroy
Malewarebytes
CClean

So now you have both MSE and Mcafee in real-time?

Yes I did have both running in real time with no issues or conflicts at all.
Toady I have removed McAfee and now running and testing MSE alone.

Prevx
MSE
DEP on all processes
Limited User Account

Best setup I have found for me.

1. ESET Antivirus 4
2. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware[with protected mode on]
3. Threatfire
4. Comodo Firewall

You'll be waiting a while. Mercurial is famous for his drive by posts.

None of those should conflict with each other. I would say that you should be fine.

lol @ Igster I have a life and don't wait for someone to reply to my post all day... I just check them when I'm bored or have time :) "no offense to the other members"

and yea thats a really bad setup... just do eset and comodo if its what you like but other avs arent necesary....

if you dont believe me... try to scan a World of Warcraft Installer with eset (with the other avs installed) or some really large Installers and you'll see what I mean... but aslong as you wanna waste resource dont mind my post :P

I bet you're CPU usage atm is not behaving good even at idle lol!

Deep Freeze...............

So nothing is changed when you make modifications or install programs, as it sets it back to it's previous state.

Isn't this for use in public access library computers?

Exactly. I have 2 teenagers in the house. They're both the same as I was when I was that age and are completely incapable of just using a computer without trying to change things. It doesn't take more than 3 seconds for either of them to start trying to download or install more crap on my computer whenever they use it for "homework". Instead of yelling at them. I have the entire hdd frozen.
