Sweet Antivirus. Friendly for the system. I have ensured Symantec (the yellow bitch) is completely uninstalled in favor of MSE in whichever systems I come across.

My only concern is that Microsoft does not and is not promoting this good product more aggressively.

We need to have update our systems on monthly basis to avoid such dangerous virus attacks on the systems.

If this really works then worth it.However most of the computers have pirated windows on them and that is the biggest hurdle in getting this antivirus program on the forefront.People don't want to pay,not even for the windows platform,this is the trend.

I know that mate. I work on AV software and used to work for Symantec before, hence the reason I'm asking for the %age of False potitives. This info HAS to be publicly available in figures like all other AQV vendors do: Symantec says 12-14% FP/FN, Same for Trend and Macafee, etc.
I'm more interested in the numbers per se.

Tests conducted by AV-Test GmbH on MSE beta earlier-
*It was put up against nearly 3,200 common viruses, bot, Trojans and worms- All files were properly detected and treated.
Several other [antivirus] scanners are still not able to detect and kill all of these critters yet

*AV-Test also measured Security Essentials against a set of in-house false positives to see whether the software mistakenly fingers legitimate files, a nightmare for users, who can be left with a crippled computer, and a disaster to the reputation of a security company.
"None of the clean files were flagged as being malicious.

*AV-Test also examined the program's anti-rootkit skills and its ability to scrub a system of malware it finds with a limited number of samples and "found no reasons to complain,"

What's the percentage of false positives with the new public version? I have a 3rd party PDF that has compiled all the available AV vendors software, their detection rates, system overheads, %age of false positives / false negatives, system footprint, number of scan engines and so on.
In all the criteria and the benchmark taken, Microsoft's software stands out as numero uno with a very very low %age of False Positives.
For the second place vie Symantec and Trend while Macafee trails third.
