Microsoft Security Essentials is the name of Microsoft’s latest Anti-Virus/Anti-Spyware software for Windows operating system.
Microsoft's new anti malware solution, Microsoft Security Essentials, is now available for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. Let's find an unobtrusive app with a clean interface that protected us in the dark corners of the Internet.
this is official site of security essential where you can download it:
Notes:
- Microsoft Security Essentials is available for Windows XP 32-bit (8.61MB), Windows Vista/7 32-bit (4.28MB), and Windows Vista/7 64-bit (4.71MB). The final build number is 1.0.1611.0. Microsoft warns that MSE should not be installed alongside any other antimalware application. Indeed, MSE's installer disables Windows Defender completely, which makes sense as it is a sort of superset to Windows Defender. It builds upon Windows Defender by offering both real-time protection and on-demand scanning for all types of malware.
- It is all free of charge. all you need is pass the Windows Genuine Advantage validation to install MSE (Microsoft Security Essential).
- You will never need any antivirus or internet security running beside MSE.
- Microsoft claims it designed MSE to run quietly in the background, only alerting users when there is an action for them to take, while at the same time limiting CPU and memory usage.
- Based on what I've seen so far, I have to recommend that you at least give the product a download. Everyone currently using free antimalware software should give it a shot, and those with paid solutions should think about taking MSE for a spin before renewing subscriptions.
