Hi Steve.
Cheers for the info. I'll give it a shot as i said in an earlier email,
The issue for me wasn't the fact that it wasn't a good program, it was
just the fact of putting all my eggs in one basket, i just don't trust
microsoft for every single thing that goes on on my computer because if
they do get it wrong, which they probably will sooner or later, then my
hole pc goes down the pan along with their software. But i'm all for a
fair trial.
Cheers,
Mo.

Mo,
I had the same reticence prior to switching to MSE. But, I read
several articles comparing MSE at various virus testing labs not
affiliated with Microsoft. It rated as the best of the free programs
and among the upper group of commercial AV programs. Since it has an
active spyware as well as anti-virus, and since you can easily
configure the scanning options, I am feeling quite comfortable with
this program.
Again, look at the reviews since this is a relatively new program
within the past eight months.

Lol. I never drempt when i posted the info about avast that it would
create this much of an interesting discussion! There is no wrong or
right answer, this reminds me a little of politics verses religion,
in the tech world maybe there will never be an answer to a lot of
things. Good for you that you're using MSEE is all i can say, as i
said each to his own. The issue from anyone's security prispective
should not necissarily be accessibility though this does play a HUGE
part, but also weather the program actually is doing what its
supposed to do. i haven't tried MSEE, nor do i intend to, though
perhaps i'll try it when i next have a machine i'm not afraid of
breaking in terms of the windows installation. The way i see it, a
good shield should keep the virus from getting in to your pc in the
first place, not clean it when its already infected! surely that's
logical? but yes, in the unlikely event that a virus has entered
someone's computer, it should be able to clean it as well. If
microsoft had a track record we could trust, i'd say excellent,
they're a great company with a great idea and i'd stick to them like
glue. But unfortunately, they don't, maybe we should all switch to
linux to resolve the dispute :) .

Hello everyone may I point out thatMSE is the most accessible
program out there for most jaws users!
I had Avast for a while but it's not totally accessible for those
who are using 64 bit computers nor was it totally accessible for my
old 32 bit windowsXP computer!
therefore "don't knock MSE" until you know all the facts!
those who are now using MSE good for you!
If something's not broken "don't fix it"!
As for Avast we had to routejaws to pc to find the uninstal button
to uninstall avast!
With MSE it's totally accessible especially when installing MSE so
really you guys "think before you speak"!
