Microsoft Security Essentials

Well it looks like Bill Mullins is firing MSE. I reckon I will take it off my Mom's notebook.
I haven't read very much good stuff about it but was leaving it on the laptop.
I have been reading Bill Mullins news letter for years and pretty much trust what he says.
Microsoft Security Essentials – Breaking Up Is Hard To Do – But, It’s Over; You’re Gone
JANUARY 17, 2013 · by Bill Mullins
Sadly, Microsoft Security Essentials and I have had a falling out. We’re through – it’s over – that’s it. It’s broken the cardinal rule I’ve long established for all my applications – trust that it will perform as advertised.
It’s been replaced in my affection by another – one that lives up to its billing - AVG AntiVirus Free 2013. Microsoft Security Essentials no longer does.
Frankly, I’ve avoided AVG’s products for years – with good cause I think. Applications that are slow, cumbersome, updates that crash systems ….. have a way of ending up in file 13 (the garbage), around here. In the past, AVG’s products were known for all of that, and more. It had its defenders of course, but I was not one of them.
As MSE has slowly lost its touch, AVG has bounded ahead. It’s sleek; it’s fast; it’s free – and, in the latest AV-Test.org’s (see AV-Test.org’s full results here), it pummels MSE – again.
In fact, for the second testing cycle in a row – Microsoft Security Essentials has failed certification as an effective security application.
