Is Microsoft Security Essentials good enough to be your anti-virus software? Yes.
Recent comparative tests suggest that Microsoft Security Essential is a top free anti-virus software.
When you think anti-virus protection, you think of names like Norton, Avast, and…Microsoft? An anti-malware testing group thinks so, as AV-Comparatives.org says that Microsoft Security Essentials is the best anti-virus program available. Despite being relatively younger than programs from Symantec and McAfee, MSE has earned AV Comparatives top-rating for preventing malware and operating at optimal levels.
Microsoft Security Essentials is a free anti-virus program that protects users against malware, spyware, and viruses. It ranks highly in performance and uses less system resources, which helps prevent the sluggishness of more resource-intensive programs. MSE is able to detect and block 98% of known viruses in AV-Comparatives’ database, and is one of only three products to earn their Advanced+ rating.
If Microsoft can earn such high praise for a free application, then why should anyone pay for virus protection? I’ll let you know in a few months because I plan to make the switch to MSE today. Having a free solution that also happens to be one of the highest-rated makes it an easy decision for me. I recommend others who are using free programs from Avast or AVG also give Microsoft Security Essentials a whirl.

I highly recommend Microsoft Security Essentials. I unstalled McAfee and when I installed MSE my computer was reborn. It’s now lightning fast and most operational problems have automatically fixed.
Yes, so far it’s the best, but for those who uses counterfeit win OS better refrain from using it, you will be caught later on.
