I know you are going for funny with a shot at Microsoft (will that work around here I wonder?
No kidding. I am not an MS fanboi by any stretch, but when they released Security Essentials, I gave it a whirl and have now swapped out AVG for it on everything I run AND recommend it to many of my clients (who usually are complaining about how slow their computer is since they installed NORTON 360 or they have a paid AV that expired years ago) It's lightweight, easy to us, has a very easy to understand user interface that isn't so graphical (*cough* N360), and it just works. Nice to see it garner some of the higher ratings in this test.
What amazes me is how much like Malware Norton, McAffee, and CA can be. Uninstalling them doesn't remove them completely. You HAVE to use their removal tool. I had to remove CA ISS the other day and it was painful. Had to remove it in pieces AND run a fix on the registry permissions which had been completely locked down to the point that 'Administrator' couldn't add/remove programs. So yeah - any time systems come into my shop, I recommend they drop whatever paid AV they're using and run MSE. No nag screens like AVG and it doesn't talk to you like Avast
