I use BitDefender-- does the documentation actually say that there is no conflict? BitDefender has always stated to uninstall other programs, and their tech support even told me to uninstall Super-antispyware- stating that it could cause BD to malfunction.
Cher -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gerald Levy Sent: Tuesday, October 06, 2009 5:09 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] MSE Now Available I'm very happy with MSE so far. I have it set to run quick scans daily, and it is totally unobtrusive. A quick scan takes about 5 minutes on my system, and a full scan about an hour. It is totally JAWS accessible and has the simplest user interface of any anti-malware program I've used. You can essentially set it and forget it, because it updates itself automatically. I can't comment on its malware detection ability, other than what I have read in reviews, which has generally been very positive. You can use MSE in conjunction with Super Anti-Spyware, Malware Bytes and online anti-malware scanners like Bit Defender, F-Secure and Trend Micro Housecall. Good job by MS.
