I haven't had any virus/malware/spyware issues with my PC till now... I use two pcs with a core2duo 2.2 and an i7... haven't felt any difference in the performance using ESET and MSE which I did feel with KasperskyIS.
One of my friends uninstalled KasperskyIS recently and scanned is with ESET and found out 46 viruses that got through Kaspersky so the person who said that ESET is not effective is proved wrong...
I would also recommend Avast because its free and has a good detection rate and its hassle free.
So my recommendations would be
1. Eset Smart Security (can be used with MSE or Malwarebytes antimalware)
2. Avast
Check Norton Internet Security 2011, many reviews are positive on that as well because supposedly they have rewritten the whole program and that its now less of a resource hog than Kaspersky.
I agree with you machan....I also have used kaspersky and felt the same.....jus wantd to knw more about MSE.now that also cool....thanx a lot bruv
