Hi, When I virus scan my client computers I tend to use a few different anti-virus products on the same machine (though uninstalling afterwards - as resource hoggers). 1. Malwarebytes 2. Security Essentials 3. AVG Free (and maybe) 4. Trend online scan I am tech support and remove lots of viruses from laptops and desktops every day. One thing I have noticed is that there isn't a single product that can remove every single infection. The only AV product I leave running is AVG free. Thanks,
So you mean you prefer Malwarebytes over MSE? And what do you mean by "The only AV product I leave running is AVG free."?
Ok I removed ESET Smart Security, and installed MSE around 1.5 weeks ago. I have to say it is really Fantastic! It's fast, doesn't hog the system, doesn't slow the system down, and is truly 'set it and forget it'. I am glad I switched over to MSE. I would recommend it to everyone.
What I mean is, I run a FULL scan with Malwarebytes, but the free version does not have a "real-time" scanner running in the background to detect malicious activity while the user is using the computer. That is why I leave AVG running on the computer, as this software does have a "real-time" scanner. BTW, you should only really have one "real-time" scanner running at a time as otherwise they start fighting each other to kill the infection which can drag down performance. So, sometimes I might use Malwarebytes and scan, Security Essentials and scan (then uninstall or turn off real-time scanner), and AVG to scan a machine for infections. Hope this makes sense.
I tried it a year ago. I liked its simple interface and usability. It's a good software. I can't recall why I came back to Kaspersky, though. Must have had some bugs.
Ive never used it before, im not thinking of changing my Avast since ive been doing great with it for a few years now, but if it gets good reviews i will try it out
If you wanna change your Avast, which I never used, you should go for the real deal: Kaspersky's Internet Security.
I am using MSE for quite sometime and it is working really well for me. I think everyone should try it.
