1208844 2011-06-14 00:21:00 Microsoft are not exactly renowned for coming up with top products apart from a couple of Office versions and maybe Expression Web, but with Microsoft Security Essentials they've outdone themselves.

From mistywindow.com

I’ve been using Microsoft’s new Security Essentials on two computers since it was first released. I’ve found it excellent. Unlike many anti-virus programs it doesn’t hog resources so it doesn’t slow your computer to a crawl.

Fred Langa at Windows Secrets tested Microsoft Security Essentials exhaustively on nine computers for six months and gave it a resounding thumbs up.

It just works. What’s more it’s absolutely free for home and commercial use. Windows is the biggest target for the pushers of malware and its file system is not as secure as Mac OS X or Linux but at least Microsoft are now doing something about it.

Good job Microsoft. Not before time.
