    Well, I do like Microsoft SE but, in addition to, I would install Avast. Spyware Blaster is also very good, and immediately switch your allegiance to Firefox ;)

    To play safe and because MS Security Center might very well complain that you have two (conflicting) anti-virus installations, it might be better to choose between Security Essentials or Avast. Essentially, that's what I have done: I have Avast but I still have Microsoft Defender installed against malware infection. HTH.
