Starting today, you can now download the final release of Microsoft Security Essentials, the replacement for Microsoft’s OneCare. Microsoft Security Essentials provides real-time protection for your home PC that guards against viruses, spyware, and other malicious software.
Microsoft Security Essentials is a free download from Microsoft that has been designed for the home market so it is simple to install and easy to use. The software uses Windows Update to ensure it is always kept up to date and lets you know the protection status of your PC by a coloured shield scheme. Security Essentials is available for Windows XP, Vista and 7 but to my (and I imagine many others) dissapointment there is no product available for Windows Home Server.
At home I have used both AVG and Avast so I am going to give this a try to see how it compares. It will be interested to see how this compares and whether it will be adopted unlike the previous OneCare product.
