I used to recommend MSE but it was never so good. A lot of people I built computers for that I put MSE on came back with viruses.

Ever since I started deploying machines with Avast I swear I haven't had a single one come back!
I deploy the customer/client machines with Avast Free, my personal laptop runs Avast Pro and my desktops will soon be upgraded to Pro, it's only $19.99/year!
