One must run the AV vendor’s full removal tool before installing any other AV product, in order to assure that no low level drivers are still installed which support the uninstalled AV product. McAfee for example, after it is uninstalled, is notorious for leaving behind installed low level drivers which interfere with AV products from other AV vendors when those products are installed. Note that whenever one uninstalls an AV program, it is wise to then run the AV product’s separate full removal tool which you can find on the AV vendor’s web site.
Aside from excellent protection, Panda’s compatibly with both BIOS and Windows patches for Meltdown and Spectre is another reason why I recommend Panda. Due to the way it is inherently designed, Panda never had issues with the 2018 Meltdown and Spectre updates for which Microsoft required all AV vendors to set a registry compatibly key. It is compatible with everything from XP and up. The best free antivirus which I recommend to people is Panda Free Antivirus.
I am not trying to plug a product, and I don’t work for Panda. Plus the “evils” of an annual subscription 😉Ĭurious thing with MSE if you SYSPREP an image with it installed when you install the “captured” image it pops up an install window again pretty much after you reach your first desktop within Mins, never seen a Programme so installed do that before, but as its a quick re-do, its not a problem I suppose its a nuance of selecting OOBE after “Audit” mode. Did look in to other AV products at the time, as I recall, but they seemed to slow the Machines down and a real long setup time as well. As to the effectiveness well not had any Malware, Virus’s or any of the little “nasties” floating around out there, so I suppose that’s good thing. Only real problems with MSE and Defender (all) is that periodically they give “False Positives” on BIOS Hex files, a bit annoying. Its typically light weight, its a real breeze to install, and done in about a minute. Indeed the bundled Win7 Defender kept turning itself off for no apparent reason on quite a few Win7 machines mine included quite a few years back, so I just got a hold of MSE and put that in instead.
