MS Security Essentials - first missed virus

So it appears MS Security Essentials is just as good as all the other antivirus products out there - a client came to me with "Windows XP Antivirus 2010" on her laptop - this is a virus (see end of this post), and Security Essentials completely missed it, this new variant is a killer, not even Combofix could remove it (that's why people hire us).

Why continue to use this AV product - well, this is about the same grade of service you would get from any other Antivirus product out there paid or free, with the exception that it does not feel like your PC is trying to pull a bull dozer. So why buy Norton Internet Security and slow your brand new super fast computer down like it was a 1979 Ford Pinto?? - when chances are high that some virus will still get past it

THERE IS NO 100% EFFECTIVE ANTIVIRUS!!!!

If I had to choose a paid product I think it would be NOD32 from Eset - although it seems to slow bootup time to about 3-4 minutes on a fast computer while it does its initial scan, after that its pretty much smooth sailing and almost as efficient (CPU wise) as MS Security Essentials.

If it resembles this in anyway - its a fake:

UPDATE: Found the source of the virus - a web site that shows videos of popular TV Series - it was attacking via an Active X control - avoid active X threats by using Opera (safest) or Firefox - havent heard of Opera - well there's tons of great products that invest more on R&D than marketing campaigns - they have actually been around longer than Firefox, and chances are if your mobile phone has a browser, it was built by Opera.

All in all, I still think MSSE is a great low impact product, and we have found ways to double up the protection offered by it making a rock solid solution with no impact on your PC performance, call us today to find out how.
