The AVG Link Scanner is built into AVG 9.0, but MSE has no comparable function. When using Google or Yahoo to perform web searches, AVG Link Scanner announces "safe" for all search results it determines pose no threat, and alerts you with a warning if a web site is determined to be risky. You can install it as a stand-alone program )it's free) to add another layer of protection to your security arsenal.http://download.cnet.com/AVG-LinkScanner/3000-2144_4-10610872.html Gerald ----- Original Message ----- *From:* Daniel McGee <mailto:mc-g@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> *To:* jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> *Sent:* Friday, January 08, 2010 11:07 AM *Subject:* Re: anti virus mouwear question with Jaws Hi Gerald, many thanks for explaining about viruses and attachments I think I have learned something new 2day! grin. Just one more thing you said something about AVG having a built in "web scanner" well is this part of microsoft's security assentials as well? Or is it isn't where can I download it and finally is it free? Many Thanks again!

MSE scans attachments, which is the only way you can trigger avirus 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.

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!

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.

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
