Microsoft Security Essentials, sometimes shortened to MSE is relatively new to the antivirus market. Having only been around for about 2 years it hasn't fully established itself. And yet the experts at Microsoft have been plugging away with security for Windows based operating systems for decades. It therefore makes logically sense that Microsoft know well how to protect Windows operating systems since they are the creators of it.
MSE runs on Windows operating systems only. Anything from XP or newer will run Microsoft security essentials. It is a consumer based product so does not run on Windows server operating systems. Microsoft Security Essentials provides rock solid defence against viruses at a total cost of absolutely nothing to the end user.
You can download Microsoft Security Essentials from here.
Our Verdict: 10/10 for its ease of use, strength of protection and reliability.
