Getting any active av software is just wasting resources. I've used mse, good browsing habits, and periodic mbam scans for the last 8 years, and had no infections.

And I've seen more than enough paid av solutions with full updates fall victim to zero day infections to know that certifications like the one you mentioned aren't worth the paper they are printed on. I've been repairing end user systems for nearly a decade, and almost as much damage is caused by errant av software than most malware infections. This lack of functionality is more than offset by the lower resource footprint and far less destructive scanning habits of mse. The certification testing process placed stock in a scenario that 99.9% of people won't encounter-encountering malware with no known definitions, a zero day. That's why it is absolutely the best for avoiding false positives. While other av software will scan a file and try to determine on their own whether or not it is malware, and then quarantine it on its own, mse will upload a copy to its virus definition database to check for known signatures. That's because there is no predictive scanning component to mse. So for my parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, friend's parents and grandparents, etc., I decided that no software is going to keep me from having to clean up periodically, so I just use MSE (Defender now), and I just pray that the infection doesn't break TeamViewer from letting me get in and fix it remotely. People are quoting testing that places a higher value on zero-day detection rates, and anyone who's done support on grandparents' machines know that zerodays aren't the problem - toolbars, bloatware, ransomware, and bad maintenance habits are the problem.

it's already part of the OS, and it'll update along with Windows. MSE is as free as free gets (it's already there) and nothing else is lighter. For that reason, two values remain: cost and resource impact. It won't matter if you use Avast!, MSE, TrendMicro, Norton, McAfee, BitDefender, NOD, AVG, or any other AV software: uninformed users will get viruses. Get TeamViewer installed so you can run updates and MBAM when needed. One of the most important things is a decent remote software.
