It's also free.and you can toggle off the auto-scan and monitoring of the registry if you want to. In terms of additional protection, download the beta of Spybot Search & Destroy (beta version is really powerful and runs well on 64-bit sytems), it monitors for stuff and runs automatic scans and isn't THAT bad on hogging resources. In my experience working as an IT supervisor for 4 years during my undergrad (the past 4 years), the best anti-virus for balancing protection and memory/CPU usage is Microsoft Security Essentials. This will save you from not only a ton of annoying ads, but they're pretty good at blocking undesirable site content from shady sites as well.) Once you make the switch, it's a MUST to download the Adblock Plus extension/add-on. (As a post-script, I also recommend using a browser OTHER than IE.I am partial to Chrome, but used to be an avid Firefox user prior to Chrome getting better. Educate yourself and don't be click-happy.that will save you tons of headache.

I now use MS Security Essentials which does not throw a hissy when MWB is doing its' thing. I used to use AVAST Antivirus and it and MWB did not play well together.
