malwarebytes free is just a scanner and doesn't offer real time protection (i.e. active scanning) unless you purchase the pro version.
Security Essentials has been fine for me. I always run a Malwarebytes scan every few weeks just to be sure though.
No Anti-Virus will catch 100% of viruses as they are constantly evolving and more being released each day.

idk then how he got the virus are they both safe then?
They are both legitimate programs yes.

Your friend can use both Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes.
I think everybody is using both of them :)
