Microsoft Security Essentials

Are you aware of Windows Defender? Have you heard of Windows Live OneCare? Microsoft actually had provided several security tools but not people seem to be using them for whatever reasons. Now, Microsoft provides Microsoft Security Essentials, which is more powerful than Windows Live OneCare.


Microsoft Security Essentials provides real-time protection for your home PC that guards against viruses, spyware, and other malicious software. It is a free* download from Microsoft that is simple to install, easy to use, and always kept up to date so you can be assured your PC is protected by the latest technology. It’s easy to tell if your PC is secure — when you’re green, you’re good. It’s that simple.

Of course, the main advantage of Microsoft Security Essentials is that it runs quietly and efficiently in the background so that you are free to use your Windows-based PC the way you want—without interruptions or long computer wait times.

Microsoft Security Essentials is available for download at http://www.microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/. Note that when you install Microsoft Security Essentials, you system has to pass the Microsoft Genuine Validation test.
