MSE-final

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).

    i downloaded it once when it was first released after OneCare. it wasn’t really much better than AVG,well. but it won’t harm if i tested it on a VM.I’ll have nothing to lose then

    @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.
