We have an entry to add on our list of free antivirus software. I have just created a new Downloads page so that it would be easier to find software that I recommend you to download. New on our free anti-virus software list is the Microsft Security Essentials. Yes, its from Microsoft and its free. It’s basically a revamped Microsoft Live One-Care but has been made very light on resources and based on some reviews, it’s actually quite effective and unobtrosive.
Although Live OneCare has not gained that much popularity and trust from pc users, with MSE Microsoft has taken all the not so useful from OneCare and left all the essentials and a very simple UI which users might really appreciate. It has virus, malware and spyware protection. The UI has been made really simple to navigate and understand. The UI is separated by multiple tabs, a green monitor icon tells you that everything is OK with your system, or a red one which obviously tells you something’s wrong, or yellow if your potentially unprotected. The buttons you need to press to fix issues are hard to miss, so this is very suitable to ordinay home users.
If your looking for a free virus protection software then give Microsoft Security Eseentials a spin or you can check out my first list of free anti virus software for more options. Keep on checking our new downloads page for new free stuff which I will sure to update.
Download Microsoft Security Essentials here.
Note: If you are using a non certified copy of Windows, MSE will know and wont allow you to download the software if you dont pass the verification process.
