Security Essentials Malware Protection

October 10, 2009

Microsoft recently released it's Security Essentials product providing free virus and spyware scanning with removal.

Security Essentials has come out of beta and been released by Microsoft.  The product features malware protection for a vast array of viruses and spyware, including rootkits.

It operates both in real-time and provides malware scan capabilities.  The scan can be run on-demand and can also be scheduled to be run at regular intervals.  The on-demand scan also features a custom scan.

Microsoft Security Essentials loads on startup and has a system tray icon advising of current status.  The product can be updated manually and automatically.

Security  Essentials uses an online community to help with malware prevention automatically from it's users.

The user interface is basic, easy to use and navigate, even for the novice user.  Many of the settings have easy default values.

The malware alerts can be set manually or Security Essentials can perform it's own recommended actions.

A firewall is not included with Security Essentials, however you may elect to use the firewall included with the operating system.  These are generally basic to use as far as firewalls go.

Some of the advanced security features such as anti-phishing, 'bad site' protection and SPAM are also not directly included in the Security Essentials product.

Since the product is produced by Microsoft, we would expect the amount of 'false positives' from operating system and other Microsoft product files to be quite low.

All in all we believe this product adds value to help combat malware, especially for those systems that don't have any similar protection yet.
