Jarudin:
Security Essentials is actually not half bad.

i recomend Avast.
its free,
very little false positives (saying its a virus when its not).
a very nice gui
firewalls
websheild (saved me a couple of times it checks the pages while you load so it stops the virus befor it activates.
quick updates
only about 10MB in ram usage while its not scaning (havent paid attention to when it scans as im asleep duringthis)
i had avg befor hand. it then failed Misurably. then along came avast. and ive been safe for 3 years! not a single infection. (all virus were stoped befor they activated)
Stsin:
Also an MSE user. But should have another for manual scans (second opinion). Many of them, though want one being the least intrusive. Trying out a-squared Free, It also scans for adware at the same time, so also a good backup for SpyBot S&D. suggested from a Win 7 guide, but I'm willing to try some other alternatives.
When installing Spybot Search and Destroy, deselect all options for the least intrusiveness on your system.
AVG keeps adding more junk, IMO.
