How to Keep Microsoft Security Essentials from Slowing Down Your System Source: http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/how-keep-microsoft-security-essentia ls-slowing-down-your-system.htm How to Keep Microsoft Security Essentials from Slowing Down Your System Updated 19. September 2011 - 6:33 by v.laurie Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) is Gizmo's Freeware Product of the Year for 2010. Recently, a new version came out and it has a setting that can be very useful to owners of older, slower PCs or netbooks. Even when an efficient antivirus program does a scan, it can use enough system resources to cause a noticeable slowdown of older machines. Version 2 of MSE has a setting that can cut down the impact that a scan has on the system. The amount of CPU time allocated to the scan can be limited. While it won't make much difference in a new quad-core machine, it can keep an old single-core system or a netbook from bogging down and allow you to continue to work during a scan. There is a tradeoff-using less CPU time means taking longer to finish a scan. To configure the settings, open MSE and select the Settings tab. As the figure below shows, you can adjust the amount of CPU time devoted to a scan in a drop-down menu. The default setting seems to be 50%. If limiting the CPU is not important in your particular system, remove the check by Limit CPU usage during scan. That will speed up your scans. By experimenting with this CPU setting, you should be able to find one that is best for your particular system.

Re: [JAWS-Users] important information regarding MSE
I have never noticed MSE slowing down my system appreciably while a scan is in progress. It's jus thtat it seems to take longer now for my XP system to boot up and for JAWS to start talking than it used to , which is not addressed in this article.

Re: [JAWS-Users] important information regarding MSE
I agree, it is not addressed at all. I no longer have any XP systems so can't comment further.

Re: [JAWS-Users] important information regarding MSE
Yes, the same is observed by me as well. I am not talking about the article and it's subject at all. I just want to agree to the member who mentioned that after installing MSE, the booting time of the system and loading time of JAWS increases.
