The beta is now out, I've had a test on a VM and the detection rate isn't very good, the GUI is based on Windows Defender, but it is incredibly light on resources.

Hi Guys

PCMag has reviewed the new Microsoft Anti-virus called Microsoft Security Essentials. Here is the link:

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2348996,00.asp

What do you think of the review? Should the well established security companies tremble with the prospect of a eight hundred pound Gorilla like Microsoft on their backs? Would you try it? I sure will. If you have to replace something to your own current security apparatus and replace it with something new would Microsoft security essentials be it?

More importantly, does Microsoft have your trust?


Peace.  Angel

Looks like the topics were merged.

The problem is, my "instructing" post was at the top and so I gave a link to the topic for people who wanted MSE.  Now they will have to look down several posts to find it....

Pishaw.  I would never rely just on this.  MSE is just a "plain AV".  We all (or most) know that AVs are outdated.

Released by MS.

Note: you have to have a Live ID to download, and you also have to go through a survey.  Plus, distributing by other people is not allowed.

Security Essentials For Prevention - Microsoft Security Essentials

Quote
I quickly downloaded my free BETA of Microsoft Security Essentials and put it right to the test.  The install process was very simple and fast.  As far as configuration...there was none.  I chose all defaults.  I let Microsoft Security Essentials update and off i went...

...to a list of 40 malicious URL's including drive by downloads, rootkits, trojans, worms, viruses and more!  Security Essentials blocked all 40 pieces of malware with complete ease!!!  WOW!

I'll be making my review of Security Essentials tonight and uploading it to my youtube channel right after.

Bump.

The links I have don't work today (they did yesterday).
There are Torrents out for the program.
I tried the x64 version but found with CIS' AV active, it actually slowed my system slightly as it scanned everything that was DL'd (including web pages).
I trust CIS so I removed MSE in favour of Defender.
