But with lower CPU intensity comes lesser detection. See the virusbtn RAP chart. MSSE has not been in the same league with the other well-known names (the well known names that score well) for a while. It's stayed in the same general spot while the others have improved. However, I'd take it MSSE in a heartbeat over McAfee or Norton.

If you're going the paid route, supposedly Kaspersky is the absolute best. I've been using MSSE for almost 2.5 years and have been very pleased.

While it's limited in features, it does stop malware and spyware, and updates happen with Windows Update. For all of WU's problems, other things all seem to suck more. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com<mailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin -- -cynicalgeek- cynicalgeek<at>gmail.com<http://gmail.com> -- ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com<mailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com<mailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin -- Sent from Kaiten Mail for Android.
