Must say I've been using MSE for about a year, and haven't had any problems. It's free, doesn't hog your system resources and, when I've cross-checked with something like MalwareBytes, haven't found any unresolved malware problems. I did use AVG and ZoneAlarm, both of which served me well for a long time, but I'm quite happy with MSE now. Occasionally, I run Superantispyware or Malwarebytes as a belt and braces job.

OK, so do you get anti-spyware and other utils? Is there a cost? -- Carol P ---- Original Message ---- From: "David Russell" <david.russell8@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, November 29, 2011 11:28 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Anti virus/ anti spy ware etcCarol I purchased a new pc and thought I would try Microsoft rather than instal Eset. It appears to work very well so far.

It took a lot to persuade me away from Eset Smart Security, but this does work really well.
