I am no security expert.
However, I have read this article and it is bad news for MSE......
excerpt:
In Link Removed, Holly Stewart, the senior program manager of the Microsoft Malware Protection Center, said that Microsoft Security Essentials was just a “baseline” that’s designed to “always be on the bottom” of antivirus tests. She said Microsoft sees MSE as a first layer of protection and advises Windows users to use a third-party antivirus instead.

I tried it and dumped it after it quit running for no reason a few times. There have been reports all year from mutiple sources that Security Essentials is at the bottom of the list when compared to other AV products. AV Comparatives http://www.av-comparatives.org/ one of the testing groups pulled it's certification months ago. I switched to Avast Free.

......... put Link Removed back to work..........
If you have already purchased Norton, then go ahead use it. No point to waste money.
If not, I would suggest you try something free, such as Avast which has a free edition.
I use that on both my Win 7 and my Win 8.1.
