Through Resource Monitor, you can see which processes are writing to disk, if you suspect it is MSE and disk writes, that would be the first place to look, good luck

The only ones who could answer that are MS. Be sure to submit a bug report on Connect.

Sorry, I should have been more explicit. I installed it on a x64 Win 7 RC machine. I will update my post so that no one is confused.

And I did not even try it on my WHS. I do not have a "test" WHS machine currently and I've killed my "production" machine too many times recently to want to do it again.

FWIW, I am using NOD32 on my WHS and it works quite nice there.

Better?: "I uninstalled NOD32 from my x64 Win 7 RC workstation to try out the new MS offering"

I'm noticing a lot of slowdown with MSE on my Win 7 laptop. Things open noticeably slower- I wonder if it's more visible to me since I have a very fast SSD and am now seeing a lot more disk access and slower load times?

Good read. I may have to look into NOD for my WHS again. Thanks for the link.

My review of NOD: http://www.wegotserved.com/2009/04/26/software-re... And, yes, it is a relatively recent "quiet" announcement from ESET.

If you give a direct link, the mods (like me) will have to delete the link. Now if you want to do something thru a PM…

Aaah, great. Thanks Jim for the update.

NOD32 caused great issues with WHS back in the beta and RC days. They must have come out with a compatible WHS release. Thanks again for that update too.

Jim,

Your article only "suggests" that you installed the new MSE on your WHS. Is this in fact the case? Please confirm and give us an update after a week or so of testing. OK?

I did some extensive testing of various AV programs during the WHS beta, RC and OEM. I posted the results on Philip Churchill's WHS blog. AVG Network was the only one that did not cause any conflicts until PP1 came out.

If MSE holds up with no issues, it will prove to be a good solution for WHS users that want to protect their data warehouse.
Thanks,
Paul

I installed it too. its as invisible as all the claims so far. Anybody who needs the installer pop into the general chat forums (hope its allowed).
