OK I did it NOW! 100% MS Security Essentials Test
After doing a lot of reading about MS Security Essentials I have made a decision to test my Win7 HD and have removed all Virus Software and installed MS Security Essentials. IE8 is showing Protected Mode is ON as well as Popup Blocker.
MS Win7 Firewall is up and I have UAC set to the default level. Defender is gone, MSE shuts that down during install. So far I have found that I have reduced memory usage about 30 Meg. My Re-bootup time has dreceased from 63 sec to 54 seconds. Does anyone else have your system setup this way? Have I missed anything else? Will keep you posted on how ell thing perform. ![]() Iggy |

I turned UAC off, and I am running MSE as my only AV.

Yeah, Iggy, I haven't seen many people other than Jonathan say they are using NOTHING other than MSE.
Glad to have a canary willing to go into the coal mine. I am still using Spybot and Spyware Blaster in addition to MSE and would like to get rid of them. |

By far, the best security system out there is common sense. You know, I have only gotten viruses a few times, namely when I was downloading music illegally and downloading keygens for software. I was in shady sites both times. Since those days, I have never even downloaded a virus.

The common sense statement is true. Becoming a canary in the mine is really funny. I know things will go well but just in case I have a full image backup ready to install.
