Based on past experiences, I trust Microsoft less. I believe you that the Microsoft product is highly compatible and effective, but the Avast problem was a mistake, correct? I don't trust Microsoft to never make a mistake. Microsoft is certainly better than a few companies that show intentional disregard of quality.

That is one reason why I shy away from third party security programs.
Switch to Microsoft Security Essentials:

It is 100% compatible!

I am also interested in what you mean by "Avast! meltdown". I use Avast and
I want to know about problems with it. I have not seen any other messages in
this newsgroup about a problem with it.
