    I suggest BItdefender 2010..
    Clean user interface .. separate functionality for novice,Programmer and parental control..+keeps ur system virus free ..

    I am not satisfied with it, with other antivirus software one gets a full dashboard to access and modify your own set of rules for viruses and malwares,but with microsoft essentials this view still lacks.may be this could be seen in their next version..

    Any suggestions which is the best option at present

    I installed it and it is really very lightweight ..
    and no prob till now...but i hope it is good ...it hasn't catched a single virus till now.
    So, either it is bad at catching viruses or it is so good that it doesnt let virus get into the system...

  • The only blocker here is that you should have a validated copy of windows to carry on with this installation
