Microsoft Security Essentials 4.0.1113.0 Beta / 2.1.1116.0

No cost, no hassle security software for your PC

Developed by the same company that created the popular Windows operating system, Microsoft Security Essential is an antivirus solution meant to keep malicious files away from the computer, offering all the other tools typically integrated within traditional antivirus products.

Microsoft Security Essentials can be considered the surprising player on the antivirus market, yet, although wearing the badge of the Redmond-based giant, people are still reluctant when it comes to installing it.

At the first glance, Microsoft Security Essentials might seem a pretty basic and simple solution that is not able to provide better protection than one of the many freebies out there. As a matter of fact, Microsoft Security Essentials is as effective as any other top antivirus products out there.

It comes with easy and fast installation, very fast scanning processes and amazingly quick updates delivered to one's computer as fast as they are released by the team over at the Redmond-based software manufacturer.

Regarding its user interface, Microsoft Security Essentials does not bring anything new to the table. It is well organized and clean though, helping users get their scanning jobs done within minutes, proving that the strength of this antivirus solution does not particularly rely on its looks, but rather on its efficiency. 

There are three built-in scanning modes, Quick, Full and Custom, and each user can choose the mode they prefer. The additional tools help users stay on the safe side, featuring real-time protection and virus definitions updates, as well as dedicated utilities to select the files and processes that need to be excluded from scan.

Overall, Microsoft Security Essentials is easy to install, fast and clean, it runs quietly in the background and it updates periodically to ensure computer protection. This is why those looking for a freeware antivirus solution surely need to give this software a try.
