What People Need To Do Switching From Microsoft Security Essentials to Avast?
« on: February 16, 2010, 01:03:29 PM »
Is it true that MS is bundling MSE with BOTH Vista and Windows 7?  I know that MSE replaces Windows Defender?  But isn't MSE built into these OS's so it cannot be removed? (I know Windows Defender was.)  They should just disable MSE and install Avast, right?

At least with the way MSE is set up for now, that's all they can do.

I don't run Windows Defender on my XP Pro system and I do not run MSE on my Windows 7 system.

By the way, Windows Defender on Vista and Windows 7 is not the same as Windows Defender on XP.
