I wish VirusTotal (or similar) would produce detection stats based on
all the suspicious files sent to them. I suspect they don't due to
all the false positives that AV provides in general. (ie. I seldom
send them a file that none of the AV tools claims is a virus. Most of
that is false positives.)
Anyway, I've moved a few windows boxes from AVG to MSE in the last few
months. I don't have much first hand use of those machines, so I
can't say how well it works from any perspective.
But its free, fully integrated, and I've read some decent reviews.
This was triggered because I read that AVG is no longer keeping a good
set of updated virus definitions. Again, I can't speak to first hand
experience.
Being a MS product, its Windows only, but for XP, Vista, Win7 it
works. I don't know about Win2008 server, etc.
