Hi Gerald; Damn good point! But, my understanding is that neither MSSE or SAS checked for Malware & that is why Microsoft wants you to use their Malware Bytes program. I need to do some more research on exactly what MSSE & SAS scan for. Luckily I haven't had any problems thus far! Take care. Mike

You're running MSE and real-time SAS together? What happens if both programs detect the same malware threat and simultaneously attempt to quarantine it? Seems to me like that could be a recipe for disaster. As long as your two real time programs don't encounter the same threat, you're probably okay. But, if one of these days, they both encounter the same threat, your system could freeze up or crash because of the potential conflict.
