Default Which AV Software Is Best At Removing Malware

http://blogs.pcmag.com/securitywatc...es_anti-mal.php

"Last week AV-Comparatives.org released the results of their recent "Whole Product Dynamic Test" - a test challenging anti-malware products to protect test systems as if in the real world. This week they've got a new one for us - a performance test on the same collection of products. The virus experts timed a variety of commonplace actions with and without each product installed and compared the results to determine which had the least impact on system performance."

PC Mag have posted a blog entry about a recent test by AV Comparatives comparing the different Anti-Virus products on the market, and how they perform when dealing with malware. The usual big boys are the best performers in this test, but what surprised me is how well Microsoft Security Essentials did in comparison.  Considering MSE is a free product then this is the package I will be making sure my family install on their PC's, after all, I am the one they call when something is wrong! Have a look and see how the product you are using performs.
