Review: Microsoft Security Essentials, free antivirus

Feb. 16, 2011 - PRLog -- Microsoft has launched a free antivirus program that has now come out in full version. Is it time to replace your antivirus protection against one of Microsoft ? PCOnline have tested the Microsoft Security Essentials - the free tool called! http://laptopsbattery.co.uk/toshiba-pa3534u-1brs.htm

Microsoft Security Essentials showed up as a beta version a while back, and with the launch test, I drove the early version for a while. I wrote a text about this on my blog . Now it has free anti-virus arrived in the full version and it's still free . However, it is not yet translated into Swedish, so the version I chose was in English.http://www.battery-mag.us/fujitsu-lifebook-s7110.htm

Security Essentials, offers one resident antivirus protection . This means that the program is in the background of your system and ensures that no virus infects your computer. You can compare with a virus scanner, as there are plenty of free versions of where the program will only scan your computer for viruses but does not remain and protect.http://laptopsbattery.co.uk/ibm-laptop-battery.htm

Free Antivirus

Software is available for Windows XP , Vista and Windows 7 . The file you download is about 8 MB, and then also needed updates are downloaded but it went very quickly.After installation, you can choose to scan your computer to see if there are any viruses lurking in the files on your hard drives and other storage devices.



The scan took about 30 minutes on my test computer. Then it is a relatively old computer at 3 GHz with 1.5 GB of internal memory and a couple of hard drives totaling about 500 GB. The speed must be assessed as average.

When I test for viruses, there are several details I'm looking at. What I do not test is how effective protection against viruses . This is something that I believe require significantly more resources than most newsrooms have access to. To carry out a fair test of antivirus effectiveness requires much more than simply installing some virus files and then kick off the program.

Why do I like most reviewers and the viewing figures from well-known and credible test centers , such as AV Comparatives.org and AV-Test . These, and some others, carrying out very good reviews that provide a good basis to assess how effective the virus protection is.

What I'm looking at is the installation , user interface , how much performance it takes the computer and the General experience of the software. This is what users have proven to be most interested. An antivirus program will work silently and efficiently in the background , without interrupting the user with either dialog boxes or by pulling down the performance of your computer
