About Microsoft Security Essentials:

There are a number of nasty intruders on the Internet that include viruses, trojans, worms, and spyware. The Microsoft Security Essentials offers an award-winning protection against these intruders without disturbing you in your way. MSE software is built for individuals as well as small businesses, but it is based on the same technology which Microsoft uses to protect giant businesses (products like Microsoft Forefront, Windows Defender and the Malicious Software Removal Tool). Security Essentials received great recognition for all the protection it offers: the VB100 award from Virus Bulletin Ltd., certification from the ICSA Labs and Checkmark Certification from West Coast Labs. Downloading and installing the app is free and easy. Once you have installed it, the software will update automatically once a day.

The program uses green, yellow and red colour codes to display the security status of your PC and color-coded icon in the taskbar tells you in a glance if your attention is needed. It is simple—when you’re green, you’re safe. However, if there’s a red or yellow threat, the Anti-Virus will alert you and tell what to do (you can even take an action directly from the notification area without having to open the application). The program runs in the background. You will only be alerted when there are specific actions to be taken. When you are away or busy, Security Essentials can take a default action on your behalf and you can open the app later to review and undo all those actions if you wish to.
