The launch of Security Essentials sees Microsoft attempting to give Windows
users an all-encompassing anti-virus, anti-spyware and anti-malware application,
for free.
The interface is clear and intuitive, with simple options to scan for viruses
or back up and restore files. The health bar lets you know your security status
and will guide you through the necessary steps when problems arise.
Microsoft claims that 70 per cent of consumers do not have anti-virus
software or do not keep it updated, so Essentials is specifically aimed at
inexperienced users who may not have the technical know-how or time to manage a
computer on a daily basis.
This version Microsoft Security Essentials will only work in genuine versions
of Windows and is for personal-use only.
