Malwarebytes is what I use along with McAfee (which will get uninstalled as soon as the scrip is up) and will look into avira as it's replacement.
sounds good. I use Avira (and have been happy with it), but considered switching to Microsoft Security Essentials since I saw lots of positive reviews and heard it is fast.

The data shows it is not faster then Avira. Although it does a good job finding virus/malware, it doesnt do as good a job as Avira (which finds the most but also has false positives). MSE does do a better job of removing virus/malware when it is found though.
