REPOST.


Comparison of various AV software by AV-Comparatives.org. If MS Security Essentials is basically Live OneCare, it's one of the least effective AV software in the review.

Three trojans? Sounds like the problem is between the keyboard and the chair.

I've found this to be a solid, free option. Light on the resources too, which is always an added benefit (actually my main concern).

Nah, the Trijans did that.

The funny thing is this one doesn't get along with Windows Firewall. After I installed it, Windows said my system does not have Firewall enable. I have to go manually re-enable the built-in firewall. This is a badly designed software when it just auto disabled Windows built-in firewall.

What did you expect from Microsoft?

Aren't the words Microsoft and "light on resources" mutually exclusive?

Is hell freezing over or what?

First MS gets good reviews for Win 7, now good reviews for Av software?

What is this world coming to?

Thanks for the heads up OP. I will download and try it.

Using firefox, the link redirects to a page that say "Not available in your country or region". Open the exact same link from IE without problems. I checked the locale and language settings of both my FF and IE and they are the same.

That may not be the fault of the program. My firewall on Win 7 is working just fine and I didn't need to reset it after installing the program.
