I would not recommend MSE at all. The top security testing organizations have consistently rated MSE at the bottom of current major AV packages for the past couple of years. Something even an MS security rep has apparently admitted when questioned why MSE performed so poorly in protection. Even going so far as suggesting that MSE should be considered a baseline, and to use another AV package.
If you have any links to recent data that shows MSE to offer similar protection with current popular AV software, please post it? Haven't seen any recent reports to suggest otherwise in several years?
