Having more than one AV prog. running at the same time can cause more problems than you think.

MSE is absolutely fine these days to use. I've not had any other AV program on my PC for a year or so. It runs daily scans and updates itself and I don't even notice. Download Malware Bytes and Ccleaner as well, run them on about a weekly basis and you'll be fine.

You do realise that Macs arent as rare as they once were, and will now be a prime target for virus creators, since their users:

A. Probably have more money than PC users.
B. Think that Macs are invincible.

To awnser the question, I use AVG, they're generally dependable.
