built bought by same people who built the bloody dodgy operating system in the first place?
my confidence is not inspired
FTFY.
As I understand it, a big chunk of MSE is the old (well regarded) Giant Antispyware and, er, something else I can’t remember.
In what way is the OS dodgy?
I was running Avast on my old computer. When I swapped the files to my new computer running MSE, it found 3 viruses/malware which Avast hadn’t spotted.
Doesn’t necessarily imply that the latter is better, just different. You potentially could’ve removed MSE and installed Avast! and had a similar experience. You’re comparing the effectiveness of one AV to the effectiveness of two.
