Will Microsoft's Free Antivirus App be Worth the Price?

Im not an expert but Im using both MSE and avast5...
(I know the common contradictions...just answering)

When both of them detects, I'll let avast! handle everything, and if only MSE detects, so be it..^^

I and most of the people who's computers I work on are on MSE only.I've been watching the forums, and Avast 5 will have to settle down a good bit before I can recommend it to my users as most know very little about computers.

So Avast 5 (at this moment) is not up to par from your perspective?

Any performance issues that you've noticed?

On my systems, Microsoft Security Essentials sits in my system tray with a big X through it.
The Real Time Protection is turned OFF.
It's available in the context menu as a second opinion if and when avast! finds something.

As of right now, I have to say no. Too many bugs.

Agreed.

Thank you all for the replies. I'll stick with what I have then (Avast 5, SAS and MBAM as secondary scanners). I'm not willing to jump boat to MSE.
