Trying out Microsoft Security Essentials

I happened to walk to a friends laptop today and i say him running Microsoft security essentials (MSE). for those of you who are not PC users and who do not know much about MSE, it is Microsoft's free antivirus software whiles Windows defender only handles spyware and as a result is not the most effective option.

Avast Antivirus Home Edition(screenshot from avast.com )


I have been using avast home edition which some free for sometime. It is not the best but if you happen to be a very careful person like me it is exactly what you need and i would say  do not be afraid to try out some of these solutions so long as you are careful.
 Avast hasn't been bad although it hasn't been the best so i had no problem with the thought of trying out MSE

Microsoft Security Essentials

I will use it throughout the month of September and give you my verdict. I like the thought of using the same products from the operating system that i use. Hopefully it should use less memory and processing power than other antivirus solutions.
