Free Windows Antivirus Software: Microsoft Security Essentials

In this competitive world, providers try their best to fulfill and attract their customers in the market. Free side-products, such as free versions, free viewers and free scanners are used to promote their main software. Besides, it is also a good idea to provide some "free gift" to "reward"  their customers. If you are using Genuine Windows, congratulation, you have privilege to install Microsoft free anti-virus, Microsoft Security Essentials, in your Windows now. In this post, I am going to share some my experience after using this software several days.

Advantages:
-Free (for Genuine Windows user only)
-Real-time Protection

Other Features:
Scan options: Quick, Full, or Custom...
Scheduled scan

Detection:
Virus and spyware, that are, malicious or potentially unwanted software.

Other comments:
Lastly, I am not very sure whether this Free Windows Antivirus is capable to block, detect and remove Trojan. By the way, the "Real-Time Protection" feature plus Free-of-Charge are the main motivation for me to install Microsoft Security Essentials in my computer. This is because it is very seldom and difficult to get a free anti-virus software with real-time protection in Internet recently.

That's all for today. Feel free to give me a comment about this topic or any suggestion about Xaivier Blog. It will be a great support to Xaivier Blog.
