Neither MSE nor AVG Free Edition scan outgoing email messages. MSE scans
attachments, which is the only way you can trigger a virus in an incoming email
message. MSE is easier to use than AVG, and in recent comparison tests,
outscored AVG at malware detection. AVG has a built-in web link scanner that
alerts you to unsafe web pages, but this can be installed as a stand-alone
application that complements MSE. Real time protection means that the program
automatically scans files for malware whenever they are opened.

Hi many thanks for your sergestion! But I was just curious. You said
uninstall AVG and keep microsoft's security assentials I was just wondering why
that would be better. You said something about "real time protection" Does that
mean microsoft's security assentials will scan incoming and out going emails
for me. I was just wondering what are the difference between the two
programmes.
Many Thanks so far
Hope to hear from you soon and everyone else!

You should not use both AVG and MSE on the same PC because they both provide
real-time anti-virus protection and therefore could potentially interfere with
each other. I suggest keeping MSE and removing AVG. You can also keep Malware
Bytes because it is only an on-demand scanner that will not interfere with MSE.

Subject: anti virus mouwear question with Jaws
hi guys, I have a question about anti virus and mouwear with Jaws. Basicly
I have 3 programmes on my computer. 1. AVG Free 9.0 2. Malwarebytes'
Anti-Malware and 3. Microsoft Security Essentials. Basicly with all the
programmes above is it really nessacary to have them all installed? I mean I
heard that having more than one programme on your computer can cause comflects
with each other but I have not seen any yet. Also is it possable that my
computer will slow down? I heard that people are using Microsoft Security
Essentials more than avg don't know if that's true but I was conserned about
the programme not having a scanner for emails. if so which one should I remove
from my system?
Many Thanks and hope to hear from you soon.
Daniel
