MSE - spread the word

[Frostmourne]

I was browsing a random PC store and of course saw copies of Kaspersky and Norton. However, with Microsoft Security Essentials, these are now unnecessary. I decided to post this. So, at the risk of being booted out of stores, advise people looking for new antimalware apps to get MSE:

Someone said to me Microsoft should put MSE on disc and sell it in stores for a small fee. Had to explain to him that MSE was only about 15mb (the installation program that is) so it'd be rather pointless. Maybe pamphlets?

Ever wonder what would happen if you stood by the stand in Walmart, telling everyone who comes to buy to download MSE?

Good idea. No Walmarts over here though.

I'd likely be offered a job as a greeter. Everytime I go into the electronics department I somehow manage to 'help people' and get them to buy stuff (I swear.. they were interested in it before I said anything!).

I should test that though. I have to go to walmart tomorrow anyways. lol

I'm serious. I will do it tomorrow.

Let us know how it goes... not something I would want to try myself. :devil:

Great idea. Everyone here has tried MSE or uses it - right?

Its what happens when you get really bored.

I have. I use it.

No and I won't unless it out performs what I currently use.

How will you know if you don't try it?

 

[Frostmourne]

The resources Microsoft has, I have no worries about its performance.

Why would I want to? The AV I use does exactly what it should and does it better than MSE. Again, why would I switch?

May I ask, when was the last time you tried MSE?

 

[tw33k]

Again...why would I want to??? NOD32 is a superior product. What would trying MSE prove? I have no malware for it to clean and I don't plan on getting any. If I happen to come across something, NOD32 will take care of it.

No need to be touchy about it. Only asked when the last time you used it was. I'll leave you be in your bubble of stress. :|

yep been using it since it was released.
and with the rest(ALL FREE BTW) i have not had one thing get on my machine

avast, superantispyware, adaware, comodo(firewall), and winpatrol

lol..who's stressed. You guys are trying to spread the word that MSE should replace everyone's AV software. I'm simply stating that I have no intention in using MSE because what I use is better. You're the one in the bubble if you can't acknowledge facts when you see them. NOD32 beats MSE everywhere.
Now if I was 12 years old again and never had an AV program I would probably go for MSE because it does a pretty good job and it's free BUT I'm not. I have a product that is superior so why would I switch? (The question is rhetorical btw)

 

[Frostmourne]

Superior in random tests.

 

[tw33k]

Superior in random tests.

Exactly by independant industry testers. I couldn't care less what others use, each to their own. I however, won't jump on the M$ bandwagon just because it's free, that's all.

This sounds like a geek version of Green Eggs and Ham.
