It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.

Nice Video,
Another video to prove that MSE is a fail...Still.

Ugh, I really hope this product can one day succeed in the Free AV Market.
They seem to be releasing new versions but with very small changes.

Only time can tell

When I did take the test, one thing I did like is that it was didn't have any user input when it did detect something, in previous versions it had to.

Thanks for the video. Always interesting to see these tests. Was never really keen on MSE.

Oh.. and the music made me laugh. Good suspense building :p Made me feel like something bad was about to happen (which it did, haha)

It's results was not good. :s

Thought the music would go well, because it was to see if MSE actually would do well. :D

Good test and video. Maybe next time you can hide all safe processes in Kill Switch so the bad ones will be easier to see load.

Yeah, ha, found how to do that after the fact. Did that anyway in the Norton test I did. :)
