Microsoft Security Essentials, and many of their other security packages, is notorious for being terrible at keeping your computer safe.

Stick with AVG, or you could look for other security packages out there. I currently use a mixture of Comodo Internet Security and MalwareBytes, and I haven't had any problems with viruses since using them. They're exceptionally helpful for keeping infected files quarantined, and regularly updated by their developers.

Btw, ask a mod to move this thread to the appropriate section instead of re-posting it.

I asked a friend IT manager and he told me that MSE is Useless, AVAST is better; and I can tell you "AVAST is the best"
it saved my computer from Trojan horse and other viruses from killing my computer!

I used to Microsoft Essentials. It was very good and deleted the threats or Viruses instead of the Files containing it. I recommend it. I think atleast Windows XP SP3 (Service Pack 3) for it.

Haha! LOL at the ones that recommended Microsoft Security Essentials.
Microsoft Security Essentials is pure garbage, even Windows Defender beats this thing.

Don't try it, buddy. AVG is better, stay with it.
