Actually Forefront is a paid-for Business grade antivirus. It isnt free, and is not replaced by MSE. MSE is a free antivirus for consumers.
Also, my poll asks which security software. Sorry about the confusion, the post asks about antivirus, but i wanted to include defender in case anyone used it with Avast or another standalone antivirus w.o malware protection.
Kaspersky - never let me down yet
MSE
Its caught one but how good it is who knows, scans very quickly considering the large amount of data I have 2.5tb.
Strange. MSE won't install in XP Mode, saying it failed the validation check.
it all boils down to personal preference. there are a lot good av programs around. it comes down to a few factors. paid for or free, interface, resources, level of knowledge (basic or advanced). no anti-virus software is 100% reliable. you need to do some research and choose one that is right for you. I use NOD32 but if i discovered another program that did what i want better, i would switch.
I user Trend Worry free on my Server and workstations. So far so good, the only issue I've had is voice communications using MSN. Disabling the proxy service fixed that.
~McAfee~ with Artemis Technology
I am very satisfied with it :)
