Hello,just recently my laptop started crashing (blue screen of death) i have avira antivir-free antivirus,and have been using it for 2 years.It did pick up the virus that was causing the problem,but was not getting rid of it,every time i re- booted the same problem came up (blue screen etc),well i have just installed MSE and not only did it detect HIGH THREAT VIRUSES,it also permanantly deleted them.

After removing them i re-booted...and long and behold no blue screen!!,straight on to log in screen.

Down side:As i write this message a full system scan has been running using MSE,so far it has been 2hrs53min!!!!. I might just stop.

Me myself, I would just let it keep running. My AV would take about 4 hurs to do a complete scan.

Yep just let it do its thang, will take some time to scan everything depending on how big your HDD is and how much data you have stored on it..

Hello guys,just updating you on my LONG mse full scan....well it took just over 4 hrs,i think a quick scan would have been a better option.

Also i am running MSE and AVIRA together,so far i have found no conflicting issues,or glitches.

I think i would feel a little bit naked knowing that avira was not running on my laptop.

One or the other, not both. Both will likely clash and/or cause conflicts.

Dunno why but my nostrils are twitching and thumbs are itchy...

Acording to the reviews I have read MSE is lighter and as good or better than AVIRA .
