Windows is a great operating system. But the Web can be dangerous. And Windows, on its own, isn’t secure. I’m a big proponent of security software. A quality antivirus program is a must for every PC user.
You don’t have to pay for an antivirus program. You’ll find plenty of free options online. But until recently, they all came from security companies. Microsoft had no free antivirus of its own.
Security Essentials fills that hole. It can catch known malware by referencing its definition file. This file is automatically updated. It also features real-time defense. It can identify common malware behavior. It may catch infections that have yet to be included in the definition file.
The program is also fairly lightweight. That means it does its job quickly and efficiently. System scans are fast. You won’t have to spend a lot of time waiting on it. It can also be used to scan removable drives, e-mail attachments and downloaded files. All in all, it’s quality protection for your PC.
