Microsoft Security Essentials includes three types of scan – quick, full, or customizable. They can be scheduled to run at a give time or particular location, and can be modified to work when the computer is not actually in use. Handily, Microsoft Security Essentials automatically updates its database, and is fully integrated with Windows Explorer. It also boasts a system restore point, in case you need to undo any over-enthusiastic cleaning.
Microsoft Security Essentials is Microsoft’s first attempt at a standalone security application for home use. Given its simplicity and suitability for beginners, it probably isn’t the best choice for more advanced users or professional network administrators, but for the average user, it covers all the bases. Bear in mind, however, that Microsoft Security Essentials doesn’t have a firewall, so you’ll need to take separate measures to cover this area.
Microsoft Security Essentials is a gentle introduction to the sometimes complicated world of home computer security.
