I am using MSE and I think it is good and all but I just want to check if it detects everything that could be possible to detects, malware, trojans, worms etc.
I was reinstalliing my friends notebook and he had norton on it.... I deleted the damn thing, installed avast and is started popping out tens/houndreds of threats
Norton
btw. After inserting my pendrive, (which I used to copy applications from my pc to his notebook) back into my pc, mse IMMIDIETLY ranged for alarm and said that "cool, no action is needed"
I don't want to install crap on my pc. MSE is excellet and light. I just want to do one time online scane to be sure if mse doesnt miss anything

Well congratulations to You then.

Anymore, all my AV's have done have annoyed me with false positives and wanting to delete my keygens. So I just don't use them anymore. I'll use a firewall at most.
I'd like to know if there's anything better than my Kaspersky Internet Security 2013 (Legit) with it's Firewall and up to date databases n stuff,since i don't want to update to it's 2014 version due to it blocking my Trillian's Notifications and stuff (it's like Windows 8,but on Windows 7 64bits HP)
Or if i should stay with my KIS and buy a license (1 day left though X_X;;; )

AVG's done the job for me. It's still the best option out there, imo.
Norton's not even worth a facepalm. I fail to fathom how so overpriced motherload of shit can be so useless in just about everything except abusing CPU. Yet so many companies fall for it. Guess they think the more you spend the better product you get.
just yesterday i installed malwarebytes and he found trojan in $Recycle.bin while mse did not.
Why you use both, MSE doesn't scan for spyware or adware, Different kettle of fish.
Between MSE, MWB and SAS nothing has went uncaught on my home network in years. And I got 2 teenagers online 8 hours a day.
Just run MWB and SAS every other week or so to catch the random spyware.

common sense

sandboxie for running sofware you're not sure about
+
windows firewall control - a more traditional, strict windows firewall user interface for all internet access
+
security essentials - very light, doesn't get in the way of using your computer at all and catches the usual suspects
+
virus total - because fuck it, nuke the entire site from orbit with everything we've got

My mom would disagree with you on that.
Everytime I visit her she has a ton of spam in chrome and on start-up.
why?
w7+ fw is technically quite competent.. the default configuration is just shitty
with a proper configuration frontend it's actually usable - and very light
I saw things like that in here and in other "woman problems" topics so...... Am I the only one that thinks some authorities needs to be alerted about Saner and him possibly being a rapist and/or kidnapper ?
Saner is not being serious. Unless its the subject of Santa!
even adobe pdf documents are being exploited in the wild.... impossible to make such claims as windows user
as user of a secure linux distro like debian, it's perfectly doable to remain safe but even there we have possibilities for malware, although chances are only 1% compared to windows and osx
After many years of MSE use I give COMODO Antivirus FREE a shot and it is really one of the best one for a gaming PC. Damn light (less than 18MB of RAM) and it has HIPS/Sandbox etc features aswell if you want to use them
If you manage to try it remeber to uncheck useless COMODO apps (Dragon Browser, some browser extensions and toolbars etc..) during the installation.

Spoiler:
what the shit are you bubbling about, ixigia? i don't use antivirus for more than a decade and never had any problems.
Why do you always take my poking seriously
I too manly use common sense* these days , as MSE's only purpose seem to be to block my beloved Steam loaders and cracks lately. I still keep it installed because I naively think that I'm safer with it, but statistics don't lie in my case: I've had only one virus infection in the last years (nasty Sirefef), and MSE was sleeping...so did Malwarebytes.

It's perfectly safe to not use an antivirus on Windows as long as you don't go out of your way to download and run bullshit adware.
As long as you use an uptodate OS and browser with only the essential plugins (flash-only preferrably) and a firewall. And AdBlock Plus.
The practical chances of getting code running on your PC on a drive-by exploit on that configuration are *really* slim.
