I'm using 8 sporadically on a lab unit, as a "learner". Heretofore I have not used MSE much at all; AVAST is too good on Windows 7 so I've had little interest in lesser devils. But today, or yesterday... can't recall.. I saw something MSE let through that AVAST would block - a site that puts up one of those fake "you have a problem" popups that looks entirely legitimate - in fact it looked like a MSE message. I was using firefox pre-release 'Nightly' x64 and it was in "full protection" mode so only the strong survive all that. Essentially, the invader froze FF, and I had to terminate the processes to get coherence again.
So this lead to my question: in Win8, is MSE integrated to some great degree not present in Win 7?? Is it safe to disable it [how?] and move on to a broader protective package?
thx
