Of course I probably adhere to smarter surfing practices than some users, though I've also put it on the machines of web-naive relatives and none of those have been infected either. A lot of potential infections can be mitigated through other means -- not running as admin, uninstalling Java and blocking Flash, etc.is it garbage or what? when I first started using it the reviews were positive and I love it's low resource using un-intrusive nature but if it's not working then of course what's the point of it.

AV Comparatives rates Kaspersky 99% effective with no false positives IIRC. Bitdefender is close but not quite as good.
For me I switch off between MSE and Panda Cloud occasionally. The free stuff does the job for people who aren't using old OSes or out installing pirated software and shiz.
