A have changed my MSE to Avast 6 free edition, after reading a lot of good comments for it. So I'll see how it will go?
Maybe someone have already tested it ?

i have avast free version, it's pretty good already blocked couple sites that were malicious and removed two Trojans so far from my system and I started using it a month ago before that I had MSE also.

Bottom line best Anti Virus spyware /really can't be labeled to one brand

But the Op that uses the Machine and has Knowledge of what He or She is doing

With the Anti virus and websites visited is pretty much the best Defence

Common sense / and trusted sites pretty much all you can do

Yep I gave it a go mate but not overly impressed - it's ok but I still prefer the Comodo premium free out of the lot of the free ones as the features include that firewall too.

MSE was going good job, but as I said, I have readed a lot of positive commentars for Avast, and that guys said that Avast is much better than MSE, so I decided to try it. For now it's working fine, no pc slowing down, 2 processes that take ~ 13MB RAM. I'll do full scan tommorow and will see how fast will it scan.

I used Avast on my XP PC with no issues, and have been using it on my 7 PC since I got it. I've never had a virus, and only occasionally had Avast pop up to tell me it blocked a malicious file on a site. Since no malicious files have gotten in, that indicates to me, that when I did encounter them, Avast handled it. I have Avira installed with the guard off for on demand scanning, and have run scans on online sites, so I have 2nd opinions. Good enough for me. A Guy

I am using the free version throughout. A Guy

I have done a quick scan, and it was pretty fast, I can say that it's faster than MSE. I'll do a full scan later, and will post it again.
