Microsoft Security Essentials In Action

[imacken]

Does the average person immediately think that "Backup" means uploading everything to some companies servers?
The answer is (based on emprical evidence) "no".

OK, but that is far removed from 'Careful with N360. If your not paying CLOSE attention it'll upload the entire contents of your HD to Norton's own "secure servers" automatically.'
The user has to take positive action before any backup is made.

For those of you who haven't taken the time to read up on Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) (Morro) you will be surprise to know that only the first 75,000 will have a shot at the download, or if you have a TechEd/MSDN account. So you the average Joe or Jill out there will end up getting MSE from a torrent site until its actual release date (Oct 23, 2009, hopefully). :huh:

eicar | THE ANTI-VIRUS OR ANTI-MALWARE TEST FILE

Go to this site and download all virus test files Tried it and MSE was able to detect all files.

 

[messjess]

take it that is the one floating around mini(va)N-ova?
hmm... does it updaye and all that good stuff? i'll give it a go.

Im more concerned if it will update while im playing TF2? I just downloaded and installed it but if anybody knows that would be great.

This is by far the most basic AV i have ever used. There is no option at all to select when it updates??

i ditched Avira & Nod32, it seemed that they ALWAYS update (freeze up everything...) when im in an online game. +MSE updates through Windows Update, so depending on those settings (WU) will be when the MSE updates as well.

How are you getting notified? Are you manually checking the "Update" tab 4-6 times a day?

Because I get no notifications or indications here.

installed build 7264 and MSE (official beta) but memory usages too much
msseces:25808 K
MsMpEng.exe:39044K

but before in build 7260

msseces:3528 K
MsMpEng.exe:38852K

I don't understand why so big difference??

 

[Dinesh]

MSE used almost 45-50 MB in my computer hence i switched to Kaspersky anti virus 2010. Its using between 15-25 MB.

You need to click on Show processes from all users to see how much memory its actually eaeting.

 

[LFB]

this is my memory usage, i think is too much...

 

[vasujain]

after trying a large number of antivirus softwares including the biggy eset nod32 i couldnt figure out the trojan i had..and MSE did it in one go....this peice of software is worth installing...waiting 4 its final release

 

[swarfega]

its the most basic virus test files that any damn AV will detect.

Id suggest testing those in a virtual environment.

i ditched Avira & Nod32, it seemed that they ALWAYS update (freeze up everything...) when im in an online game. +MSE updates through Windows Update, so depending on those settings (WU) will be when the MSE updates as well.

nod32 does have a schedular so you could reschedule it to download at a more convenient time.

@ LFB what program r u using for checking memory usages??
