Microsoft Security Essentials is part of the Windows Live Essentials suite of Windows add-ons from Microsoft. We have a whole team watching for new threats and coming up with ways to squash them. Microsoft Security Essentials is built for individuals and small businesses, but it’s based on the same technology that Microsoft uses to protect giant businesses (security products like Microsoft Forefront, the Malicious Software Removal Tool, and Windows Defender). It’s a anti-virus scanner for Windows, and high on my "must have" list. This is why I really like Microsoft Security Essentials. Navigating it while keeping your personal information private and your data secure isn't always easy. Dial-up and access numbers aside, the internet is a complicated place with viruses, worms, Trojans, phishing etc. Surfing the internet isn't like the CompuServe days of old back in the 1980's. I'll say this about every security app that is reviewed here on – if you don't have one, get one.
