Hi Prateek, I have tried 3 or 4 other Anti Virus programs & I'm not going to tell you that MSSE works better or worse than any other program as far as cleaning goes but, I can say that I have no Jaws navigation problems with MSSE like I did with other Anti Virus programs. As long as I've been using MSSE, it has not failed me as far as cleaning or notifying me about possible corrupted downloaded files or, notifying me about being on an unsafe websites. It always runs in the background until there is a problem, & you are never being interrupted by a screen that tells you that you need to update or scratch your ear or something! The only sure way to know if it suits your needs is to give it a trial run. As far as SAS goes, I use the Pro version, I like it but, the new interface is a pain in the a** navigating it with Jaws. Take care & have a happy New Year. Mike

Hello. I have noticed that Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) software seems to be a favorite for many listers here. There are so may other software options for virus and spyware protection some of them paid and some free and accessible with JAWS. So is there any special reason why I should bother and indeed start using MSE? For example I have McAffee and super antispyware on my windows 7 PC. What is my incentive to go with MSE other than the free price of MSE?
