Microsoft Security Essentials

Microsoft Security Essentials is a free product from Microsoft Windows. It was relatively easy to install and configure to my system. It is free but it will validate your version of Windows. Make sure you are running a legitimate version of Microsoft Windows or it will NOT install. You will have to uninstall any existing anti-virus/anti-spyware software or you may run into compatibility issues when you install it.

I have recently installed this software and let it run for a few days. Overall I am pleased on well it works. This is a good program that combines the anti-virus and spyware protection together. It was easy to configure once it is installed. The software gives solid protection with options to quarantine, allow or remove the files that may be causing your system harm. It also will update the spyware/virus definitions automatically with the choice of doing a manual update on the fly.

However this program has some potential drawbacks. It is an "All-in-one" software so if a virus were to attack it, it would make your system vulnerable to the virus or other forms of attack. Hackers or someone else could try to find weaknesses in the program to exploit it or to attack your system once a weakness in the program have been found. This would not be the case if you had a layered security structure in our computer with separate programs from anti-virus and anti-spyware protection.

I am looking forward to using this program to see how it will run in the future. It is a solid program and it is free from Microsoft.
