I now understand that this is a duplicate question but why the down votes.Is it because of it being duplicated or for some other reason– BradSep 29, 2009 at 23:41

I am interested in why the down votes also.– XavierjazzSep 30, 2009 at 1:50

I guess partially the downvotes are for asking a question with obviously at least two duplicates and the other part are probably for even thinking about voluntarily using Microsoft security software :-)– JoeySep 30, 2009 at 5:31

Use neither. I've had great success with AVIRA. Use that and run Malware Bytes once a week and you're in good shape.
It may be too early to say definitively, but I've been running the MSE beta for a couple months and like it. I upraded both home xp machines to the released code today. ARS Technica had a positive review for it today.

I would stick with AVG as it is free, has never let anything by, and is light-weight.
Also, this question will probably lead to prolonged discussion...
