Microsoft Security Essentials – Lookin Good
// October 4th, 2009 // No Comments » // TECHNOLOGY
Firstly I never thought that I could write a full post on Microsoft. Secondly, even if I go on to write a post on it , it would have more often that not been a rant about a BSOD or UAC or other characteristic microsoft silliness. But this post funnily is all nice about a product called Microsoft Security Essential (MSE).
We all know how frustrating and irritating it is to find a good Anti-Virus software for our home use. Some of the basic criteria would be:
- Free
- Non Intrusive
- Background Updates
- Free
I found AVG anti-virus software the best according to this metric, which I found very capable in thwarting the viruses to a certain degree. But, now I think Microsoft makes a slightly better product than AVG with MSE.
Other than the above mentioned characteristic, MSE is just 4.3 MB to download and a even meager 1MB to run the program while idle. This opens up significant improvement in speed. I installed it last week and it has been running very smooth and without any hassles since.
So if you are looking for a free,efficient, simple anti-virus program, believe it or not, it is Microsoft Security Essentials.The comment is all yours now.
