I haven't tried Vipre for my home system. The IT department at my work uses
Vipre for our networked PCs, hundreds of PCs in 40+ cities in the US. So
far it seems to work ok.
At home I run AVG, SpyBot, ComboFix and MalwareBytes. I try to run all four
once a week, takes about 4 hours to scan the whole thing. MalwareBytes
seems to take the longest, almost 2 hours. AVG about an hour and a half,
Spybot about 20 minutes and ComboFix about 10 - 15 minutes.
I tried MSE but deleted it within a day because it would scan every web page
or program prior to access and it took forever to launch anything, and
connecting to Steam was impossible. Gotta have my Team fortress 2 fix!

I think that MSE can't be trusted as a primary AV.
I've used it and it gave me a false sense of security. I think that MSE
can sit alongside another AV product and provide an additional safety
net, but for some reason, I just can't get that false sense of security
out of me when using MSE.

I have not used that one, but have switched from using Symantec to MSE
for all my Windows boxen..
Microsoft Security Essentials seems to do the trick for free..
