Hmmmm pretty much a matter of opinion. It all depends on who you're talking too if it is good or not. There are just as many sites saying it is good as there are bad just like any of these programs. I have use MSE on previous computers and now Windows Defender with my windows 8.1.
Is that include Microsoft themselves? When Dennis Protection Labs posed the question of why MSE scored so poorly in their AV test, "Holly Stewart, the senior program manager of the Microsoft Malware Protection Center, said that Microsoft Security Essentials was just a “baseline” that’s designed to “always be on the bottom” of antivirus tests. She said Microsoft sees MSE as a first layer of protection and advises Windows users to use a third-party antivirus instead."
Please feel free to link to any AV review from reputable sites that claim MSE to be even comparable to other free AV software in terms of protection?
