Microsoft Security Essentials - Proven Antivirus for Free
posted by Bram P 
There are good free options of antivirus available from minor brand and unfortunately the nervous consumers figure that they are better of buying major brands. Today Microsoft Corp has released Microsoft Security Essentials. This Microsoft antivirus is free download software and available at Microsoft.com.
This Microsoft antivirus is the successor to the Windows Live OneCare which never gained traction, a $49.95 computer protection suite that included identity theft protection, a firewall program, and a file backup utility along with the malware detector.
There are no anti malware is perfect especially not against the latest attack programs. George Ledin, a computer science professor at Sonoma State University in California, pointed out that dozens of new malware programs appear daily, and it takes a long time to tag these new threats so the software can defeat them. “By the time they put it in the catalog, it is months old,” But it’s still some protection is better than none.
Microsoft Antivirus Security Essentials provides real-time protection for your home PC that guards against viruses, spyware, and other malicious software. Microsoft Security Essentials takes basic antivirus system and combines it with a spyware filtering tool Windows Defender. The defender only blocks spyware programs that cover your screen with pop-up ads or swipe your personal information, but it is not working against viruses, worms, and Trojan horse programs that can commandeer your machine.
Microsoft Antivirus has a simple and user friendly on screen interface. A green icon on the Windows toolbar let you know that the software is scanning incoming files in real time. Once it detects tainted software, up pops a warning and a recommendation about the best course of action. Or just press a button marked “clean computer,” and Microsoft Antivirus Security Essentials gets rid of the file and works fast.
Microsoft Antivirus Security Essentials drops some Windows Live OneCare features that are built into Windows already, so it is well under 10 megabytes in size. Microsoft Security Essentials is enabling to run in your computer while you also running some other program together.
Microsoft is now changing the rule by giving the software away as the same way to the Internet browser business. It will lower their profit in antivirus business but safer computer for the rest of us.
