by Greg Mueller, Jan 08, 2010 5:00pm PSTHere's a fresh chatty for you all to enjoy on this Friday night. We've had our ups and we've had our downs, but it's been a pretty good first week to start off the new year. It will no doubt be remembered as vividly and with the same fondness as all the other first-weeks-of-the-year past. That is, not much at all.
The weekend is almost upon us. May yours be as fun and exciting as an endless stream of sharp news, snappy headlines, and witty comments from Faylor, Alice, Garnett, Jeff, and the rest of the Shack.
In case you missed it, here's a taste of all the fun and excitement we had today:

I went from Avira to MSE on two machines here. Both are Win7 64 machines. Uninstalled Avira completely, restarted, then restarted again and afterwards installed MSE on both
As soon as MSE was done, it decided to scan for stuff. That's great and wonderful, and I let it run for.... a long time. During which time, both systems were basically unusable due to the lag. As soon as it was done, both machines suffered in performance (E6600/4GB ram & E6320/2GB ram) tremendously and started acting like MSE was still scanning (crazy disk access, windows not responding, etc..). I checked the process monitor and noticed that on both machines, the MSE service was taking up anywhere from 80-100mb of memory. After a few hours of having random lag, insane disk accessing, and performance issues.. I promptly uninstalled MSE on both and went straight back to Avira.
So, there's my story. I'm sure it's great & wonderful for everyone else who runs it, but it ran like absolute shit on both of my machines here and took up more memory than I care an AV to use.
