If not, that actually scares me a little bit. How did they do that? This is ripe for malware writers to piggy back onto. There are viruses / malware that specifically target and compromise certain popular antivirus products. If I were a malware / rootkit writer, I would certainly target this (especially if it were able to access system files) If successful, the user would not be able to clean the virus without doing an “offline” scan (plugging drive into another computer).

Will this software conflict with a system that already has Nod32, Super AntiSpyware and Malwarebytes AntiMalware programs already installed on it.? Thanks!

I removed all my “permissions” to acces a folder full of viruses and then I scanned it with kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009 and kaspersky could not find any viruses (It couldn’t see what was inside the folder). But Microsoft Security Essentials could see the viruses and remove them with no problems.

I can’t say anything about how good the “detection rate” was but Microsoft Security Essentials could see the files and Kaspersky could not see them.

I actually think M$ has made a good AV product :O

Are you kidding me ??? You call this a Serious Number of Samples for an Antivirus/Malware Test ???
