Microsoft Has FREE Anti-Virus Program

Security Essentials is the latest offering from Microsoft to keep your PC virus free.

It is a FREE anti-virus program joing the ranks of Avast and AVG. While it still has a way to go in being as effective as other established FREE AV programs, it is getting there.

Independent testing by A-VTest.org says it is 98.44% effective in detecting virus threats and 90.95% effective in stopping adware and spyware.

And SE works well with your MS operating system since it is made by Microsoft. On the other hand, it ONLY works with MS OS, specifically XP, Vista and 7.

We'll keep an eye on it and see how well it continues to fight malware.
