So one issue with a feature that everyone knew about and you sacrifice normal operation and security because of it!? Fair enough if you manage it manually in a timely manner, but a bit OTT in my book and poor advice for a normal user.
I also use AVG for the record as MSE for some reason doesn't like my hardware and blue screens on XP, Vista and Win7; 32 or 64bit! a -----Original Message----- From: Angus Scott-Fleming [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 08 October 2011 05:14 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: AV and malware protection?

I don't trust MSE, as it requires Automatic Updates to update itself and I don't let AU run on my systems. Microsoft has slipped to many things like "Windows Genuine Advantage Notification" in as part of "critical Windows security updates" for me to trust AU to run automatically. I use AVG (the free home license) on one home system, and a home license of VIPRE (from a client with 100 home licenses to spare) for another.
