I believe you can toss out your expensive Norton, McAfee, Trend Micro, Webroot, Kaspersky, or any other fee-based security suite you currently use on your personal computer. And I believe that even if you get one of these suites for free, you are paying too great a price in overhead on your system by using them.
I have been using MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials) for many months now (as this blog documents), and have not had a single problem. My previous suite included Windows Firewall, Windows Defender, and AVG Free Anti-Virus. AVG, also as documened in this blog, was/is a good product, but the company's marketing ploys to get its free users to upgrade to their fee versions was enough to drive me away, and sadly, was enough to get some of you to buy their fee product.
If you are using a fee-based security suite, you should consider MSE as its replacement when it comes time to pay the hefty annual fee. OR, if you use Norton or McAfee or other suite because your Internet Service Provider offers it to you for no fee, consider the gargantuan size and poor performance of these bundles vs. what I and others have to say about MSE.
