It is well-known that the number of malware, hackers and cyber-threats is growing at a super-fast rate, and that is why Microsoft have developed Microsoft Security Essentials, a security software package, that is included in Windows. Microsoft Security Essentials is a powerful and reliable application that will protect you against viruses, spyware, and other types of malware in real-time.
But Microsoft Security Essentials is more than just an antivirus software, as it also includes a firewall and an internet management system. In other words, apart from preventing your system from getting infected by computer viruses and other malware, it also allows you to prevent specific applications from accessing the internet. What is more, it even displays an alert whenever a program is trying to access the internet.
Microsoft Security Essentials features a user-friendly interface, just as any other Microsoft product, and although it allows you to configure different parameters, you only have to do this once, since it was designed to work on the background.
