yep, MSE does a better job than any other AV i've used, has the smallest and least obtrusive footprint, and is completely free. i don't see why Microsoft doesn't just bundle it with Windows now, they still include IE after all the anti-trust BS. and i really don't think the other AV companies would have a leg to stand on since all MS would be doing is protecting their own product from being compromised
