I have F-secure 2012, but is it better than Microsoft Security Essentials? Id like to try that too,
I'd say simply, yes. I am not into collecting links, showing that f secure wins over the others, but it is a fresh and pretty good piece of software.
Why am i not surprized at hearing that? Actually the best av "plus" note the word plus antimalware protection in general I've been working with for almost two full years now is VIPRE. It's not a free program but reasonably priced for all it does!
As soon as I opened up a folder on the drive I still keep some old XP files on Whamo it spots and quaranteens an old XP utility? actually zip file download with a trojan hidden inside! Some time later I went to open up another folder on the same drive and VIPRE flagged an exe file never used where every other program tried missed it completely!
These weren't any false positives either. But why no other antivirus or spyware/adware removal program tried out over several years DID NOT even detect a bug with either of those two files is beyond me. I still would recommend adding on additional IE protections if you are running something else that lacks IE security since that's where just about bugs are placed on your system besidess file transfers between machines and I-Worms in strange unknown emails!
