Have you switched completely away from avg to ms essentials entirely?
After being an avg user for many years, I am considering doing that.
Any issues in the transition?
Thanks.

When I bought a new Win7 laptop and later a Win7 desktop, I went with Essentials, due to a recommendation from

http://windowssecrets.com/

AVG and AVAST! conflicted with Sandboxie on my old XP, so I went with Essentials the last year before the XP died.

Sadly, both AVG and AVAST! grew into bloatware. AVG made the XP so sluggish. AVAST! 6 (IIRC) added its own sandbox that was rather clumsy and interfered with Sandboxie.

In addition to MS Essentials, I frequently do scans with SuperAntiSpyware to clean out tracking elements.
