Microsoft Security Essentials... fail.

Having worked with MSE for a couple of days, I have decided to return to AVG.  Although it massively improved Windows start up times it slowed down saving items within a browser.  Downloading anything from a website caused the whole system to stop for 10+ seconds.  Doesn't sound like much but soon became very annoying.  It effected Firefox, Explorer and Chrome in the same way, even switching off the automatic scanning of downloaded files (which isn't recommended) didn't effect the delay.  Having removed MSE and installed AVG, the browsers all react normally to save/download requests.

Shame, I really wanted this to work!
