Wanna Die?

Nothing is.

MSE is among the best at protection and is unobtrusive and lightweight for everyone except Xenomorph who always downloads MSE: Suck Edition.

Adding to this, most people tend to forget to run Microsoft's Malicious Software Removal Tool in full mode to clear infections as well. If you know there's an infection on the machine that MSE isn't detecting, going to a command prompt and typing in MRT and running a full scan instead of the quick scan that it does when it updates can sometimes resolve the problem too. MSE purpose is to prevent it from happening, but MRT is meant to remove it if it's already running.


But yes, as others said, there is no foolproof way to clean, just like there is no way to prevent an infection even if you play it 100% safe.

As far as I can tell the only reason not to use IE9 is that occasionally you'll run across a website that's using an old js library or something else that doesn't officially support it. Aside from those the only sites I've seen that don't work exactly the same in IE9 and other browsers are sites that were specifically made for a particular browser anyway, like the ones on Chrome's store.

It's really just a matter of taste which one you use.

You never know. I thought it was perfectly fine where I work but had to roll it back on our machines because a program that uses javascript has trouble displaying info after it refreshes. Compatibility mode won't fix it, and the app will eventually be upgraded next year so no one cares to fix it.
