Avast picked up a few things last night on my machine that were not infected, but I figured it was just a bad definition roll out since I knew all of the files it was tagging were old and had remained unchanged for quite some time. I have been toying with the idea of moving to MS Security Essentials when I move to Windows 7, mainly after I read through this:

Anyone have any details on how MS stacks up against Avast and AVG on detection/removal?
