    MSE is great - simple to use, unobtrusive and doesn't hog your processor/RAM.

    And its free. I've used it for about 3-4 years now, haven't got a virus in that time.
    yeah that and malwarebytes are a good combo, malwarebytes is a better scanner than the built in one in Microsoft security essentials, in fact its arguably the best

    I recommend Unthreat Antivirus, it's really easy to use and doesn't slow down my computer so I can run it while I'm studying without it bothering me. It's free, you can check it out here www.unthreat.com
