I would like your thoughts on this matter, especially from the more tech savvy. From your experience, which ones are the best? I'm currently using Microsoft Security Essentials, but I'm not so sure about it. I have read that it's pretty good, but I'm willing to change. I had Avast for a few years. It would alert me if something was trying to install itself, but I don't know how accurate it was.

It is good, but it has known to fail to pick up viruses/trojans until I do a full scan on my system, my best bet is to stay with MSE because that happens with all virus scanners
