What does MSSE replace?

I'm using SuperAntiSpyware Free Edition, MalwareBytes free edition, SpywareBlaster, CCleaner, AusLogics Disk Defrag and Avast Free Home Edition. Which of these does Microsoft Security Essentials replace? I had the idea from a newspaper article that it would do what all of these do combined. Thanks

 

From your list? Avast.

 

Thanks for the replies. It doesn't look like MSE would be any improvement or time-saving program for me. I really like Avast. I forgot to mention that I have Windows Defender on my Vista Home Premium. I understand that MSE automatically disables or removes it, so once again, no benefit for me.

 

There is the benefit of it using less resources....

 

Less than Avast?

 

Heck yeah. Avast is a pig.

Check out how many different avast processes you are running and see how much ram each takes.

 

I believe you. I think I saw references in another thread praising MSE's speed. Thanks again.

 

Two more questions and then I'm done: 1. I forgot to mention I have Comodo Firewall. Do I keep it? 2. And, I'm assuming that MSE updates definitions automatically. Does it? With Avast, which I have uninstalled, there is the security blanket of announcements every once in awhile about how it has updated automatically.

 

It updates along with Window update. Check your update history.

 

Yep, there it was. Thanks.
