Microsoft Security Essentials Final
30 September, 2009
Microsoft Security Essentials final was released to the public today. Microsoft Security Essentials is a much more advanced version of Windows live one care. What’s good about this is its detection rate is high, scan performance is very good, uses less resources and it also has a very low false positive rate making it a very good security product.
Before installing make sure to remove any other antivirus or security program that is installed already.
The final comes as a free download and will also include free updates. MSE is compatible with Windows XP 32bit, Vista and Windows 7 (32bit/64bit).

- For Windows XP, a PC with a CPU clock speed of 500 MHz or higher, and 1 GB RAM or higher.
- For Windows Vista and Windows 7, a PC with a CPU clock speed of 1.0 GHz or higher, and 1 GB RAM or higher.

@Meena Bassem: well its as good as eset, but this is NOT a security suite, this has only anti-spy and anti0virus protection. So you can couple this with Comodo Firewall for optimum security.
