I also use MS Security Essentials for exactly the same reason you do.
The only problem with it is that it's not possible to scan only a single
drive or particular folder. I almost never have to do that but have
downloaded (and then unistalled) another virus checker for the rare case
I want to do that. (only once that I can recall).
I suspect you may also be correct re the current incarnation of Internet
Exploder but I just can't bring myself to use it and it is the biggest
target of all thus giving Microsoft a run for their money.
