MSE rates very highly in test results. I am using MSE on all my

systems and I don't have any reasons to complain. Even my slow

machines are running fine with MSE. I originally migrated from

AVG and AVAST and I don't regret at all now.

This site does comparisons.



http://www.av-comparatives.org/



http://www.av-comparatives.org/images/stories/test/ondret/avc_report25.pdf



Microsoft Security Essentials 1.0.1611.0



Rating - "Advanced"

False positives - Very few

On demand scanning - slow



14 other products beat it on "missed samples".

Microsoft did very well on False positives, with only 3 products beating them.

Microsoft scanning speed was very slow compared to the others.



The hardest part of using the av-comparatives site, is finding

the reports :-)
