Microsoft antivirus?

nice heads up kadavill

this is one i'm going to keep my eye on, might be well worth testing it on a not so critical PC.

 

I find it very good McA, I particually like the speed and the extra functions in Advanced eg. System Explorers are very handy

Not had many problems with the beta apart from the early few false postives and one a few weeks back but its been very stable for me, if MS can produce the AV like this then they maybe onto a winner.... they need to make it either free or very cheap.

 

My 2 cents if you dont mind, Halo

MS Spyware was Giant and was one of the best out there. The current beta is great, but like any beta has some bugs and should not be your only spyware removal tool. Keep Ad-Aware or Spybot handy for now

 

Hell no MA ....... Totally agree with your post and I do keep Ad-Aware and run that generally before I use MS Antispy.


MA.. a question, I personally havnt used Rav AV so dont know what that apps like, just wondering on your software travels if you have any experience of it? could it make a good AV for MS to expand on like Giants antispyware?

 

Purely imho, RAV antivirus was pretty good, but not on the top of my list mainly, to be honest, because I didnt care for the interface. If MS snazzes it up, which they probably will, and keeps the database current, it will be a winner. It would be nice if MS offered free antivirus and spyware removal.

 

Cheers MA and yes I think that MS would gain a bit more respect ( respect is not the word I was looking for but close ) if they do offer both apps free once beta testing is finished as it may do a small bit of repair work in the PC community after all of the exploit bad press they get

 

Yup. Im watching, this new peogram is supposed to be a all in one sort of utility for your pc. Since a program, or programs like that could cost you over 100 bucks, it makes it hard for someone to complain that Windows costs 100 or more, least I think so...
