Prateek,
There is no incentive. You can use what you want. However, in my
experience, certain anti-virus programs are more inaccessible at least
certain parts of them have been problematic. This was the case with some of
the advanced functions when I tried Kasperski, Norton, and McAffee in the
past. Secondly, some programs take focus away from your window when they do
something that should be done in the background; this used to be the case
with AVG, (at least the version I used before I switched) when it would
perform an update.
Now, since I find both the above behaviors quite annoying, and because MSSE
has gotten very good ratings even compared to other commercial anti-virus
products in independent publications, I have chosen to use MSSE.
Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Why bother with MSE when there are so many other
antivirus/spyware software options available?
Hello.
I have noticed that Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) software seems to
be a favorite for many listers here. There are so may other software
options for virus and spyware protection some of them paid and some free
and accessible with JAWS. So is there any special reason why I should
bother and indeed start using MSE? For example I have McAffee and super
antispyware on my windows 7 PC. What is my incentive to go with MSE other
than the free price of MSE?
