"Microsoft previously reported that its new Security Essentials
anti-malware solution (see my review) had garnered 1.5 million downloads
in its first week of availability. Well, the numbers keep going up:
After two weeks, the download total stood at 2.6 million. Also, the
company tells me that Microsoft Security Essentials has achieved ICSA
Labs Anti-Virus Certification on Vista Ultimate 32-bit and Vista
Ultimate 64-bit in the Desktop/Server AV Detection & Cleaning Testing
criteria. This certification builds on its October certification from
West Coast Labs."

Bogs everything down...besides, with AVG..MBAM...ThreatFire and more,

Shame it does not work for the two of you.
IMO it is better than all of the above as it uses far less system
resources. Avast and MBAM are still both on my system but real-time
protection has been disabled for the two of them and my PC has never
been better.
Not sure why you think it would be "overkill".
I have installed it on several systems with different hardware
configurations now (over 30 PCs in 5 different locations) and all work
flawlessly.
These PCs were all built and the OS installed by myself so I know there
is no other software installed that could cause issues with MSE.
Looking at various newsgroups where there have been issues reported with
MsMpEng.exe, the cause has always been found to be some other process
causing the issue.
This will become the standard anti-malware software before too long.
The only thing that will cause its uptake to be slowed down is the
bundling of inferior products on new PCs. Something done by system
manufacturers to increase profits.

I expect many people will wait to see if it lasts longer than MSAV.

I wouldn't listen to him, I beleive he is the same person who attacked
my computer skills credibility when I complained about the same issue
with MSSE a little while back. I said it was ok on my multi-core PC
but on my single core PC it was killing performance and was viciously
attacked for it.

Paul Jones
What? Please provide evidence of this vicious attack.

MSAV -- OEM of CPAV bought by Norton.
Passing fad for Win3.1x at best.

OK, maybe it wasn't you but someone did when I brought up the exact
same complaints.
B

Ah yes, it was most definitely you. Do you work for Microsoft?

Like I said, "Please provide evidence of this vicious attack."
Shall I:
----------------------------------------------
Me:
On my Win7 32-bit I see not heavy CPU (Intel dual core) usage at all.
Opening any folder sees explorer.exe jump up by 5-10% cpu usage for a
split second and then back down again. Certainly less cpu usage than
Avast and MBAM.
You:
"This is on 2 different computers that I tested it so are you saying
both my computers are equally ****ed? I don't think so."
Me:
I am not saying anything about your computers.
Unless of course, as two computers is a very small test sample, both
your computers are, as you so eloquently put it, "****ed".
You:
Yea, the usual argument of an idiot
Me:
Don't be so hard on yourself as I was not blaming the hardware or OS
config.
You really are a bit slow on the uptake aren't you?
It was not my intention to apportion blame anywhere. But looking back,
maybe the operator, being a complete and utter moron, must take the
credit. In case you still don't get the point, that is YOU!
You:
You have no point except to try and contradict me so **** off wanker.
Me:
Such bad language. Not very good in a debate are you?
You:
I've been using computers since 1989. That's probably at least 20
years longer than you, numbnuts.

Wow, the only thing that makes any sense in that sentence is the
profanity. English is not your first language?
Now go away and come back with you next name change.

Time will tell but take up so far tells a different story.
Luckily for the other anti-malware developers MS are not going to bundle
it with the OS or offer any incentives for OEMs to bundle it with PCs.
They should still expect their sales to reduce though as the MSE has no
'pay' version. You get real-time scanning for free and likely as
features are added they will be available to all for free (no Pro
versions etc).

Talk about "spin"!
If the first week saw 1.5 million downloads and the second week saw
1.2 million (2.6 million total after two weeks minus 1.5 million of
those which were downloaded the first week), the numbers are going
DOWN, not UP!
Or does the author believe the fact that the TOTAL is increasing is
really news?
