    Yeah freeware seems to be the best solution these days imo, last time i payed for a anti virus was in 2005 with norton 360. Not very good imo,let a virus in that let the computer unusable and it couldn't remove it even though it found it. Had to reinstall windows So far with avast I have had very good luck,also have malwarebytes on the side like you do and it works wonders.

    MSE has a pretty good reputation because Microsoft really does want to protect it's operating systems. A lot of folks also recommend using the free Malwarebytes on-demand scanner as a second tool.

    Malwarebytes

    If you decide to try MSE, I'd suggest you first run the official uninstaller tool for any previous anti-virus you might have installed on your computer. Many times control panel > programs and features > uninstall leaves behind pieces of the anti-virus and that could prevent a good install of a new product.

    hey all, also agree malwarebytes free and superantispyware free are good to have along with mse or avast or any antivirus that you have. never noticed any impact on any of my desktops running mse or avast. i also use revo uninstaller free for software removal and have no complaints with it.

    MSE does allow setting what action to take in "Default actions".
    I believe if this is set to "Quarantine" it would allow for restoring.
    I don't know for sure as I've never had anything found.
    If MSE Quarantine doesn't work the way I believe it should, i would like to know that.

    I use System Backup Imaging so i can restore no matter what A/V and A/M I use and what they do.
