Microsoft Security Essentials – a Viable Alternative?

Did you know that Microsoft have a free security application?

It’s a possible alternative to AVG, Norton, McAfee etc.

Microsoft Security Essentials is small to download and when installed is less than 17Mb – compare that to AVG at over 120Mb.

OK, it doesn’t have all the protection offered by other security suites – but it “does what it says on the tin” – offers essential security.

Microsoft Security Essentials gives you Anti-virus, Anti-spyware and Anti-malware protection – like it says – the essentials.

Being a “lightweight” application it does not affect system performance as much as some other packages, a worthwhile consideration for users of older, slower computers.

Interested? - simply search online for “Microsoft Security Essentials”, download it and give it a go.
