Version 7.0.0.125 is trainable to be the best all-around security software for the desktop, in my opinion, despite a recent failure in "Virus Bulletin" testing for the virus component.
Be sure to spend the time though, as the default settings are not the best. See what IP addresses are getting information from your computer at the first of the day's startup. Then block those IPs in Austrailia, Canada, and Asia. They may not be essential in the US... Train the scanner to not automatically scan at start-up, but schedule for the weekend after a manual scan of your whole computer system -- when you have time, soon.
Turn off Phishing if your browser does it anyway. Identity management is not as necessary for software to do it.... etc.

Re: #8 Clean Service Shutdown
More time for a high-jacked app by a Trojan is a golden opportunity to get to the system when the system may be weak.
