At this moment Avira free has some detection/cleaning problems so i would vote for MSE for now.
A fool with an antivirus tool is still a fool.
If you can't convince them, confuse them.
The last thing I want to do is insult you. But it IS on the list.

Matt has not yet reviewed Avira Personal 10. He even said in his blog he wouldn't be reviewing it cause there are no real changes. So what video did you watch?

Well your poll is misleading along with your statement. Thats why I asked. I have MSE running on all 10 work pc's. No problems what so ever. No false positives to worry about. No nag screen. Its just a simple av that does its job.

This is NOT a config set up thread. This is about Avira 10 vs. MSE.
