Bullguard was draining the life out of my PC. MSE barely registers.

But it isn't the same thing. It's only anti-virus. You'll need to switch on Windows Firewall and so on. However I'm happy with it. Thumbs up. And it's FREE!

I'm very happy with it.

I'm very happy with it, got it running on all 4 machines.

As already said needs Windows firewall, but sits in the background scanning in real time.

Nice.

Works well and have no issues.

Picked up a nasty from a SD card I plugged in to the machine.

On my PC there was no difference between MSE and AVG, so I'd just stick with AVG.

MSE is miles ahead of AVG and wont sook up your juice
