If you are like every other IT person I know you are doing a lot of technical support for family and friends over the holiday season. I thought of that last week and decided to write a short blog post detailing one of the least hyped and most useful items in all of the current Microsoft product offerings.
I’m talking about
Microsoft Security Essentials
(MSE). MSE is a free anti-virus application that will run on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
Did I mention it is free?
I’ve been using this on several of my computers for months and it does a good job. I’ve also installed it on friends and relatives computers and, in the cases where there were Trojans or other malware already present, it quickly found and removed the malicious code.
There are a
quite a few easily found reviews
available if you want to read up on MSE before trying it. This is a quick, easy to install and free (did I mention that it is free?) solution.
