If you had to choose a security suite for anti virus /antispyware as well as detecting rootkits, trojans, botnets, malware in downloaded files and other malicious malware but you could only choose between Symantec Endpoint Protection (version 11) or Microsoft Security Essentials; which one would you choose and why?

Go with Symantec Endpoint Protection

It has antivirus + antispyware + System & Network threat protection (kind of IDS)

Looks like you got hold of Corporate version ;)

I use the same for my server. But for personal desktop and laptop, MSSE does the job well with Malwarebytes and 7 Firewall.

Microsoft Security Essentials ftw.
