Okay, Microsoft Security Essentials is shit. How shit?
Provably, demonstrably shit. Something highjacked my browser, restarted it, and had set my homepage to some obscure, likely virus-infested "search engine." So, I installed Malwarebytes, did a scan, and how many infected files and registry entries did it find? If your answer was
OVER ONE HUNDRED AND FUCKING THIRTY, then you are abso-fucking-lutely correct. Mind you, I ran a scan before that with MSE,
and it found exactly fuck all.
MSE is literally worse at preventing and detecting malware than the pull-out method is at preventing pregnancy. Funny, because Avast is about as good as a condom...and its fucking free. I might get that for active protection, now that I think about it... Finally get something better than that festering hunk of steaming, porous feculence.
