You’re taking a huge risk using this free antivirus product from MS. McAfee or Norton provide the best AV protection. If you don’t want to pay, your best bet is Avast.

Hi Keith, I suggest do a reformat of your hard drive (if you can back up your documents) and re install Windows. I do this yearly and it makes my PC in tip top shape. Microsoft Anti Virus has been doing well I supposed, been more than a month and so far my PC is virus free.

Free antivirus has the right price, at least. I am going to download and give it a whirl. Will let you know how it goes. My computer has been real slow lately. We’ll see if this fixes that.

@JMN – But you already have AVG before you installed MS Essentials and that means it initially escaped AVG too. Anyways my experience was different, Essentials detected a Trojan when Kaspersky didn’t. A co worker has the same experience with Essentials detecting a worm when AVG didn’t. A comment from Sernan saying the same thing when Avast didn’t see any Trojans but Essentials did after installing it.

Well thank you for sharing your experience JMN, I guess there’s no perfect anti virus, free or not free. Always do different things for different people.

ZXT – Uh, because I obviously didn’t uninstall AVG properly. But the *point* of my post was that AVG found infections and Essentials didn’t.

So you have AVG then you installed MS Essentials and uninstalled AVG BUT AVG ran a scan and detected 4 infections? I thought you already uninstalled AVG? How can AVG ran a scan if its uninstalled already?

I installed MSN Essentials and thought I’d uninstalled AVG. Then AVG ran a scan and detected 4 infections, 1 of which it wasn’t able to quarantine or repair. I’ve run Essentials a couple of times and it says the computer’s clean. ???

I wonder how good is free tool. Maybe it is a better idea if Microsoft buys this product from McAfee and make it free.

Norton and McAfee are in trouble now, although Microsoft claims this free product is for those who didn’t have any security software installed. But, who wants to pay a software if there is a free one?
