The key term to keep in mind is "realtime protection". AVG, like MSE is a
real-time malware program, so it must first be uninstalled before installing
either MSE or Eset Smart Security, otherwise, you could encounter conflicts
that adversely affect the performance of your PC. I used the Uninstall
option of the AVG submenu in All Programs on the Start menu to remove AVG
before I installed MSE, and everything went smoothly. The free version of
SAS, on the other hand, is just a scanning program that does not offer
real-time protection, and therefore can be used safely in conjunction with
AVG, MSE or Eset.

Thanks this is helpful
I think you are probably right and these are sensible assumptions.
As a lot of the page is about Malware it did occur to me that this might
be
a utility that you could run with other packages like, for example, super
anti-spyware which also claims to detect worms Trojans etc whilst not
being
in conflict with anti virus programs.
I agree however that as MSE explicitly describes itself as an anti-virus
program we should assume that it will not work with other anti-virus
programs installed.
My own licence for AVG Internet Security expires in about 20 days and I
was
about to consider switching to Eset Smart Security . If enough
supplementary Information on MSE in the meantime emerges this may
influence
my decision.

David,
I think we may take it that, insofar as it is an antivirus program, then
it would conflict with any other antivirus program being run at the same
time. (This is the usual operating assumption (borne out by experience
of users who've tried to run more than one simultaneiously) with
antivirus programs.) Insofar as other, stand-alone, anti-spyware
programs are concerned, it wouldn't conflict with them. For myself, as
I have just recently resubscribed and upgraded version 4 of Nod32
security suite, for now I am pretty well covered. It would be
nonetheless worth knowing how MSE does in comparison tests with other
similar programs free, and paid. .

A remarkably unhelpful and dismissive response.
I have read these pages several times and I have not been able to
spot
whether there would be a conflict with other packages.

Read the page for it and it will tell you.

But can you answer David's question, below your message? I guess
we'll need some research findings on how good an anti-virus program
it actually is.

First, MSE is an antivirus/antimalware program, and second, it's
free. thirdly and finally, it's completely accessible and is
available from http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials

I wonder does anybody know if this works with any existing anti
malware
or
anti virus commercial applications like AVG installed? It is not
clear on
the Microsoft page.
Commercial Anti- virus programs normally do not like being
installed at
the
same time as another anti-virus program.

Yes, it is accessible, and free. It also allows you to schedule
automatic

Hi listers. MS has just released its new free anti-malware
program,
Microsoft Security Essentials, for public download. Has anyone
tried
it
out yet during the beta testing cycle? Is it really JAWS-friendly
and
easy to use? Based on the overwhelmingly positive preliminary
reviews,
it
looks like MS has hit a home run. If MSE is truly JAWS accessible,
it
sounds like a great alternative to the free versions of AVG and
Avast.
If
you're interested in learning more about MSE, check it out:
