It seems that they are underestimating high-end anti-malware products because they only used the free version of them.

Problem with free version is that scan engine lacks half of the better features. So bottom line, it's heavily crippled and useless.

lord oh lord...you guys, whoever you are are looking for troubles by:

1 calling your tool a "Microsoft Registry Cleaner"  ;D
2 saying that MS certified it  ::)

you should redesign the whole page and call the tool something else before you get a call from an MS lawyer  ;)

edit: where's the link to the PC world review ?

edit: friends or colleagues ? http://www.microsoftregistrycleaner.net/

This has been discussed many times.

No one anti virus application is 100% effective.

MSE is part of Layered Protection for your system.

MSE will be included in Windows 7 and fully co-exists with avast!

absolutely not. How could it replace Windows defender that's already integrated in all versions of Win7. The only thing is that once MSE is installed, Win defender is automatically disabled.

It does:
Q: Is Microsoft Security Essentials designed to replace Windows Defender?
A: No but if you are running Microsoft Security Essentials, you do not need to run Windows Defender. Microsoft Security Essentials is designed to disable Windows Defender in order to manage the PC’s real-time protection, including anti-virus, rootkits, Trojans and spyware.

come on, you're confirming yourself what I said; it disables defender, but is not meant to replace it. Replacing it in Win7 would mean it'd be included in win7 set up and installed as default. It's just a matter of choosing the right words  ;) Also, I read (got to find the link) MS doesn't intend to ever integrate MSE in Windows, it will always be an optional download.

it doesn't really matter. All companies, included software companies  ;D  claim they are the best, nothing unusual. What bothers me is their attempt to fool the users by claiming they're MS certified, and also calling their tool "Microsoft Registry Cleaner"...some noobs might believe that, run it, and take their systems down, that's the problem.
