    Having read the thread, particularly in regards to my original question on it (post#14), as to which is the best viruscan for me. It would appear some say MSE and others say AVG or Avast.

    Much to the arguing to and fro on the thread, I am still none the wiser of which is the best.

    I'd agree with that. Don't think there'll ever be consensus, because there's always some subjectivity.

    I have to say, I've found MSE perfect, not overly intrusive, yet decent levels of protection, and updates done through the normal Windows / Microsoft update mechanism.
    Cheers Wongsky, you sound a little more clued up on them so I will give it a try. ;)

    I've always used AVG and don't think I've ever had a problem

    MSE is built in to Windows 8. Guess which AV the malware writers are going to target...?
