Time to ditch Microsoft Security Essentials / Windows Defender

For two years running, MSSE has performed worst in Dennis Technology Lab’s anti-virus tests. This year, it achieved a detection rate of 68%. This compares to the next worst performer, Panda Free Antivirus which scored 90%.

The best free performer was Avast! Free Antivirus with 98%, followed by AVG with 93%.

While MSSE is better than none at all, it is our advice to install a better antivirus. Contact Adam on 01646 602248 if you need help with this.

"We have a small network with a handful of computers and following a hard drive fault on our main PC, We almost lost all of our records. PC Rescue not only repaired the hard drive, They advised and provided a backup solution. PC Rescue installed a central backup point for all the computers, which automatically backs up our accounts, and the entire hard drive of the PC with my technical contract files. The loss of this data could have cost me thousands, and thankfully, this is now saved in four locations. The solution was also a fraction of the cost of a traditional server." – The service that was offered was Friendly, Informative and Professionally Delivered. I have no hesitation in recommending PC Rescue as a computer management and solutions provider. We had a lucky escape.
