What's your existing anti-virus install? In addition to MSE, I would install the brilliant Avast too -- never lets me down after over 6 yrs usage/

Paid for MBAM might be worth your while too -- minimal outlay and lifetime one-off payment ////////

You need to uninstall one or the other. only takes one antivirus provider to issue a regular update that causes it to conflict with the otherone and you'll have just as many problems as an actual virus.

they are not tested to work with any other active engine present because they are not designed to work that way.

If you use more than one antivirus or antispyware program at the same time, your computer may experience decreased performance, become unstable, or restart unexpectedly. Before you install Microsoft Security Essentials, or to resolve many issues with Security Essentials, including installation issues, you must first completely remove any Internet security programs from your computer as described in this topic.

Doh!

yes, its not that complicated.... have ONE good anti virus, and keep your security patched automatically up to date as PUBLISHED security holes can have viruses written for them within days.

But the number of people comming on here with viruses speaks otherwise.....
