Hi everyone,

So which is better, MS Security Essentials or Avast Antivirus? And if so, why is it better? TIA.

Although I would recommend Symantec Endpoint Protection if pricing is an issue!

I agree with you that Symantec Endpoint Protection is good for corporate use. But the system get so slow... And it's not freeware!

Thank you for your inputs everyone! As of now I've used MS Essential and MalwareBytes. I do plan to purchase a paid anti virus asap. Maybe it'll be Panda, I'm still reviewing the antivirus review given by rpggamergirl. Thanks again to everyone!
