I have uninstalled MSE completly “clean” and reloaded it and same thing. I wish Microsoft still had “Live One Care” it worked alot better with no problems.

I am having the same problem. MSE has always worked fine for me until a few updates ago, then it became a performance problem. Everthing slow down there is no icon in the task area anymore. With nothing running I can go to task manager and there it is MSE running and using alot of CPU. Performance shows 90 to 100%. I end MSE and everthing works fast again. I don’t know what Microsoft did but I hope they fix the problem soon.

I started to use MC security Essentials a few days ago.The main problem I have with it, is that when it is updating my computer slows down to a snails pace.Otherwise OK!

I have both MSE and Panda running on Windows 7 64bit. No problems since MSE release.
