I know when I did some tests a while back, the passive footprint was small but the scanning resources used were larger than a few of the other options I tested (Avast comes to mind). I still determined MSSE to be a better product since it didn't harass the hell out of you, play annoying sounds and require you to 're-register' every year to keep using it.
