Mike-> Yes.
I disinfect a dozen or more PCs a year. The majority of which are supposedly protected by the likes of avg, avast, trend micro, symantec etc, quite often the annual subscription version, but very few are supposedly protected by MSE.
Mike->There are objective testing services. MSE used to be pretty good but now is no better than average. I'd suggest folks read the reviews in things like PC Magazine and make their own decision.
I don't claim for a moment that this proves mse is 'less risky' than the others.
Instead, I suggest that mse users are less likely to click hither and thither, especially on email attachments which is where the worst of the malware comes from. In part at least, because they are not misled into a false sense of security by the often extravagant claims of the AV vendors.
The best AV is AC - Abundant Caution.
