It doesn't have a boot time scan which avast does. From my personal experience, everytime a pc had norton on it, there were viruses everywhere. However, once I got avast installed and did a boot time scan and run spybot search and destroy, wala problem solved. However, it was usually due to the fact that most of these pcs the subscription to norton had expired...

I have heard good things about this Security Essentials product from Microsoft. I haven't tested it much myself but the performance/system footprint looks reasonable.
