![]() ![]() I haven't seen MSE come up with any on any system that I've used including my own, nor does it seem like a resource hog (well, anything over Microsoft Update being a bit of a resource hog on say XP). I stopped using Avast when it started advertising "Win a Macbook Air!" and tried to serve up the trial version of AIS every time a big update came along. I went on to Avast free (big improvement over AVG Free). I've seen it in action on a number of systems since and their performance doesn't suggest that AVG has improved much in this respect. I used AVG Free for a number of years but stopped at v8 as on my Athlon XP setup at the time system performance went right down the plug hole. I've used or have come in contact with most of the other free (and non-free) security solutions available for Windows. Good luck with that, you're slowly and surely getting on the hackers radar. in Network Security.Įdit: People using Mac. I don't think you can really go wrong with either Avira or MSE, they're both extremely good considering they're free.Ĭreds: Finishing B.A. & They update very frequently, and I've had absolutely no issues with the software. But when I had, many credible websites and research groups all said MSE had least false positives. Though like I've said, it has been a good 6 months or more since I've did all these research into a new AV. MSE has a small footprint, and it has the least number of false positives. So actually, I would say it's the opposite of what I'm seeing in this thread. I've switched to MSE and no more false positives, and after doing a little personal research - it indeed had a smaller footprint on my machine. I had been getting tired of false positives and the resource usage. I've used Avira for probably over 5 years before I heard about MSE coming around. I can personally vouch for all these studies. It's also known to have a smaller footprint than others, aka Avira/Avast. MSE also is not in any way a resource hog. (though false positives isn't necessarily a bad thing, it just is very "suspicious" of activity.) Indeed, it is Avira who has been shown to have the highest number of false positives. MSE is widely known for having the LEAST false positives. Just to clarify some misconceptions I'm seeing: ![]() It's been a little while since I've really did much research on the current free AntiVirus software but I doubt they've all changed their gameplans and software in any radical way. Not to raise a slightly older thread but I thought I should add my two cents. ![]()
