On the Wifes PC loaded on Microsoft security essentials a while back and have to say its worked well found Viruses that avira missed. The scan takes a while but it integrates nicely of course with Windows and sits quietly in the background. Scans take a while but have been effective for what it is.

Have a read of the CNET reviews

Not perfect but does a decent job and with little to fiddle with and used with Malwares spybot, or your choice of anti malware just sits there and deals with most things
Scans are slow though..

I see Microsoft are now pushing MSE which is causing a lot of debate.

But here was one Tech Jounranlist recent findings.

To be honest i found the same when changing from Avivra to MSE on the Wifes Laptop.
Good to not to have to pay out for something which at present seems to do a good job and works well with windows well as you would expect.

I thought I had contributed to this thread already but yes Microsoft Security Essentials is free lightweight (doesn't kill the computers processing power) appears to be effective and doesn't try to do a million additional things badly.

I've had it installed on my boxes for a long time now.

It does what it says on the tin it catches viruses.

In fact the only bad thing i can see is its MS and as soon as it becomes widely used (its a bit of a unknown untill recently) it will be attacked by the hackers it self most likely but I think MS are investing a lot in so hopefully will keep one step ahead ..
