I use ESET's products on my desktop, laptop, and server. I use Microsoft's Security Essentials on my media center computer. :)

I agree, MSE is good enough for most nominal usages. Enterprise systems should have more security by home users should be fine with it.

Not the first time since AVG bricked Windows computers. It seems they have been quite downhill since the last time I've used it (Which is pretty much up until the point Microsoft Security Essentials came along).
