My Kaspersky does not have long to run and was wondering what people think of the Microsoft essentials ??? is it as good ? I have also read its not good to run both at the same time so would I need to uninstall Kaspersky first ? thanks

Hello Val,
I have been using MS Essentials for about two years and fingers crossed it is doing its job well. I download very little so that may make a difference. I would recommend it. Do be sure to uninstall all other similar programmes.Margaret N

Found this Elaine it seems not
The long answer? Microsoft Security Essentials is free software that helps protect against viruses, spyware, worms, and other malicious or unwanted software. Microsoft Security Essentials has already won awards and gotten great reviews from security experts. And it's free. If you use Microsoft Security Essentials you don't need to install any other antivirus or antispyware software.
In fact, if you run more than one antivirus or antispyware program at once it might affect your computer's performance. If you already have antivirus software and you want to install Microsoft Security Essentials, see Uninstalling existing antivirus or antispyware programs before installing Microsoft Security Essentials.
Note: Windows 7 and Windows Vista both come with antispyware software called Windows Defender. If you install Microsoft Security Essentials it will automatically disable (but not uninstall) Windows Defender. It does this so that you don't have two programs on your computer that are doing the same thing. For more information, see Microsoft Security Essentials vs. Windows Defender.
If you want to install another antivirus program, uninstall Microsoft Security Essentials first.
For more information about Microsoft Security Essentials, see Help protect your PC with Microsoft Security Essentials.
