2.) Old information up to 2014!


Info:
Again and again I have to clean my computer with external virus protection programs! Most of these have virus protection pre-installed by the manufacturer and then an additional one that you have installed yourself from a DVD! 


Then there are various optimization tools installed, which makes the computer even slower!

Before you download and install Microsoft Security Essentials, you should uninstall all other antivirus programs!
If necessary, also the optimization tools, my experience is that in most cases they make the computer slower and the optimization effect is too small!

This is especially the case with active programs! Since these are always active in the background and have a strong influence on the performance of the computer!

DOWNLOAD and INFORMATION: ... Microsoft Security Essentials Download the free virus protection!

But you can also install the virus scanner of your choice ,but if you install two, it's one too many :-)
