Even though Avast works closely with MSFT in Avast's product designs I would think that MSE is better integrated with Windows 7 then Avast products are. At least I would hope so.
I have run into some issues with respect to Avast and the W7 Repository but was able to fix them. Other than that I can't recall any conflicts between Avast AIS and W7. No conflicts with the Windows 7 and Avast AIS firewall though I never tinker with default firewall settings.
Avast does have the ability to do a boot scan and also customizable scans. In addition daily scans can be scheduled on any day or multiple days of the week. It seems to me that there is a lot more flexibility in Avast scans than in MSE. Someone please correct me if I am wrong on this.
Right now I have ten different Scans available including default scans and customized scans that I can schedule or run on demand including a very quick Memory only scan. I really like the scanning flexibility in Avast. Easy to set up and use.
