And the price is right. However, the combination of Avira + ThreatFire + Comodo Firewall Pro (all free editions) is IMHO the best security combination out there. Robust security with virtually no false positives. And all three apps play nicely with each other. Which is a lot more than I can say about some of the so-called integrated suites I've tried Use the above three apps, and stay on top of your Microsoft and Firefox updates, and you'll be about as secure as it 's possible to be with a system as intrinsically insecure as Windows is. Since I've starting using this combination, nothing (knock wood!) has gotten through to bite me. MSE is better than nothing. And the price is right.

Use the above three apps, and stay on top of your Microsoft and Firefox updates, and you’ll be about as secure as it ‘s possible to be with a system as intrinsically insecure as Windows is.

Since I’ve starting using this combination, nothing (knock wood!) has gotten through to bite me.

It's purely signature base. That means no heuristic scanning. Avira is still the best free anti-virus scanner out there. Also, Security Essentials does not play nice with ZoneAlarm's free firewall. I actually got the blue screen of death on a Vista machine with this. Tested out Microsoft Security Essentials. It’s purely signature base. That means no heuristic scanning.
