    Microsoft Security Essentials best in results?
    What do you mean?
    It came in after AVAST didn’t it?

    What about Bitdefender?

      MSE did not come best in the results. It was a typo from our side, it came last in the results. It is not recommended to clean an infected PC.

    I feel secured with Avast Pro version, it detects Virus very well and keeps me safe from visiting harmful sites 🙂
