When it comes to security, the amount of time a scan takes should not even enter into the equation. I am using Avast 5 with MSE and find that its scan time is about the same....

well Tews it is definitely not the same as for a quick scan on Avast takes near 10 minutes and MSE takes half the time and i know time is not a problem as far as security is concerned , i was only wanting to know if it took as long on other peoples systems and i was in yahoo answers and most said that it also took double the time for a quick scan
Well i shall agree to disagree lol
as it does not take anywhere near the same time on mine and before you say it my system is running perfectly well and has 70.9GB free of 101GB
Security essentials quick scan just took 2 mins 14 secs and Avast quick scan only at 25% after 8 mins for a quick scan , so should i uninstall it and load up again
Hello Joeirish, Try utilising the persistent cache. You can read about it in the Help Centre top RH corner of Avast.
I did an initial full system scan which took over 50 minutes, but full system scans after this are less than 5 minutes
