Agreed 100%. MSE is awesome.

Microsoft Security Essentials is a solid choice. Avast is another great option. They offer live protection, real time updates, and are light on resources.

so does comodo..

Hi sparkysspark,

I agree with the others that recommended Microsoft Security Essentials. It's an award winning program and it's 100% free - http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/

think outside the box....
sometimes getting away from all 'MS' isn't such a bad idea..

If it works, it works. MSE and Avast are great options.

After using AVG Free and Trend Micro for a while, I was more than happy to run back to MS in this case. MSE is the most lightweight, user friendly, trouble-free AV I have ever used.

i guess that means a little coming from you....;)

Just my opinion... But a lot of people agree with me.

i meant that in respect..

Understood and appreciated. :-)

At work i used AVG and AVast.. and in time grew to hate them both, to many adds, slow and hogd a lot of resources i found, with realy crap interfaces. At home on the main gaming and work pc's i use Kaspersky security suite.. and love it... but thats a whole debate in its own.

On my netbook how ever, I wouldnt mind something "lighter" and more backgroundy so may check the MS mentiond one out.
