Salaams,
Has anyone used Microsoft Security Essentials?
It was only launched recently and since I have reinstalled Windows, I am not sure wether to stick the Avast!4 Home that I had before and never gave me problems, or move to this.
Every Windows Based PC should have an up to date antivirus solution installed. A lot of the popular/advertised options have either a fixed or an annual cost. however, they may not always be the best and could even be resource hogs. There are a few free contenders out there that I am aware of here.
The rule of thumb is: Avoid Norton. It really is a system hog and replacing it with another alternative could give your PC a new lease of life.
Microsoft's Security Essentials is the new kid on the block and its free to all users who have a legitimate copy of windows, so its a good alternative to the others below where some have a "home use only" requirement.
