As the title states, This thread will be about who has the better real time protection methods/shields/whatever.
Better Protection for what?
*Detecting Malicious Software
*Detecting Malicious Sites
*Email Scanning
*Downloads from websites
Those are just to name a few.
From my experience, I can say that Avast has done an excellent job blocking Malware from when I had a virus on my computer. Other than that, I have never heard from the Avast shields. I have never used MSE so I can't speak on behalf of their shields.

Define better?
Positive detection rate? Avast wins by about 2%
False positive rate? MSE wins, it has one of the lowest false positive rates.
I've never had a virus with MSE but I've also never had a virus with windows 7. Hard to say what it's due to but I doubt it's my AV.
