Microsoft security essential = Window Defender

is it true?

For Mac users, Sophos has just released its free anti virus for home use. You can download it at http://sophos.com/freemacav

You don't need to register and there's no time limit.

nope,that is different
the windows defender is useless
u can turn off so ur computer can run faster ~

well how many of u just install Microsoft Essential? is tat enough protection?
so far me no prob on it, or.........maybe ard kena just not detected yet....

I'm OK with MSE. No problem, none of my externals have anything inside, but of course, externals coming from other peoples always have viruses

use malwarebytes for extra protection

We can never know 100% if our protection is sufficient enough or our system have or have not been infected but as long as you are happy with the protection you are getting based on your experiences while using it then your good to go

i dont understand use bitdefender. so, i prefer kapersky.

Agree!

Just want to share, in case you're fu*ked by AVG Free 2011 lately.

KTHNXBAI.

false.
mse!=windows defender
mse is way better than tat w.defender

MSE is a gd antivirus, jz install some addons such as malwarebytes antimalware + superantispyware as on-demand scanner

i prefer kaspersky,trustable

lucky i have not change my view on AVG....it still disturb OSes...... for me..i call it corrupt OS

i used MSE for a few months n i hate the way MSE off the windows defender. i couldn't open d programs n on it. i hav to find out solution in google. MSE full scan too slow. after 30 minutes its still so little.

i try comodo internet security see whether it is a way better than MSE.

windows defender is nth for me, MSE is way better than it.
try avast if u wan fast scanning, persistent scan realy saves alot of time n its effective

an immediate question. does anyone know where can i find panda security products in lowyat or digital mall?

so far for me MSE + Malwarebytes is the best for me. I never paid for anti-virus. The detection rate is just same with paid antivirus. Just need to scan your PC regularly.

For firewall I just use Windows Firewall.

I use this combination of security:

1 antivirus + 1 firewall + 1 or more malware blockers.

In my case, Look 'n' Stop firewall (very fast, easy to use) + Comodo Antivirus + Malwarebytes Anti-malware.

Windows Defender is no use.
