I recently read from this forum the following article:

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2372364,00.asp
(note that MSE is not included... most likely because there is not a 2012 version yet... MS doesn't necessarily do major updates on a schedule... they do them when they're ready.)
Is this accurate (it was written Dec 2011)? Since it's March, do I have the 2012 version now?

My About screen says Copyright 2010. I used to work at a PTO. Doesn't that change each year?
I read the article and page 2 talks about Free A/V programs but doesn't review MSE.

I recently switched to Avast! after using MSE for years as well as using NAV/Symantec (which I liked but no freebies). I just wanted to try the Free version. My system slowed way down and IE9 kept blowing up. It would stop every 2-3 web pages I visited but did always recover. Things have returned to normal now that I'm back. I can see there are remnants in the registry to Avast! and hope to find out someday how to remove them.

Thanks for your time.
