Computer Software News-Beta version of Microsoft's new releases free antivirus software

Microsoft September 14 , and to provide anti-virus free ed It ion of a new beta, Microsoft Security Essentials 』release (one k " M Or o")I review the short-term: This program is a fast, low-key new addition to the options available and stable anti-virus virus free, easy to use today

MSE is essentially Microsoft's next-generation products Windows Live OneCare for Anti-virus, anti-spyware service, without all the extras, such as firewalls and data backup, PC performance (adjusted Microsoft announced in January 11 2008, 2009 6 at the end of the month, through the retail channel will stop selling OneCare)

The most extreme part of that program was installed MSE can be run on For Windows XP , Vista or For Windows 7 (Both 32 bit and 64 bit versions), tried to use it as my first test machine failed to install XP Pro on the system - and any failure message is not cryptic error codes increase in online search for something or leave me

Fortunately, my problems unless the system is installed in Windows 7 beta Interested users, the installation of the MSE, please note that you must be a user's system, Microsoft's Windows Genuine Advantage anti-piracy tool is to make sure that Windows is installed and licensed version pass the check Users should be, you can download the program or to register, already) account is a free Windows Live (Hotmail and requires

After installation, MSE a few minutes, spend a couple extra files to download "prompts the user to perform a quick scan "The name is, took less than 10 minutes on Sukyantesutoshisutemu True But a full scan, a relatively new installation of Windows 7 at about 45 minutes

Anti-virus products, but to suck up system resources, the infamous, but will run this program will be forgiven and forgotten It Most 4 MB system memory during the scan, including more than I used to test it the whole time .

By default, MSE of (zip format, ÉScan the archive files g ), And the system will create a restore point before you delete any files that set off the alar M One option is not checked by default Sukyanrimubaburudoraibu, USB drive - and more - is to scan for viruses However, users can enable this option

In addition to programs, on-demand: This is a real-time, Microsoft "when you say, viruses, or attempts to install itself and other unwanted software, spyware protection, and warning time on the computer running We"

In addition, MSE and to monitor the activities on a computer file or program to scan all downloaded files and attachments automatically If something is found, using what it is suspicious files, if you will, no user action 10 minutes later, Microsoft has to do (s file) decided to do the default action if The time to ask A two-time every Sunday at Sukyanauto box, schedule mBut only if, PC is idle at that point

So great, so far MSE potential for anti-virus, has been written to the overthrow of the established industry giants Immediately whether it happens or whether a new product, Microsoft is the real malicious software, but as a test for measuring the test is beyond the scope of this evaluation

Personally, I MSE and whether that affects the whole I do not think many anti-virus market If the antivirus industry players, it will disappear in the next few years, one of their (non-Microsoft) get gobbled up by competitors, failed to adapt to the latest threat to them or it becomes Masu

Each time, and throw the weight of the field to avoid security-related issues with Microsoft, sure, trust, privacy, effectiveness and causes the same problem occurs I will address some common themes, MSE in the context of the permit:

Microsoft has developed an operating system which can protect the production facilities of probably the best software vulnerabilities: The truth is, Microsoft on an ongoing basis, Windows is to protect the vulnerable Up for the bad guys and researchers, each month, the new patch it ships, and was excavated in order to fix the problem of security and stability of the software does not know it has been proven exploitable In addition, Microsoft is compared with other antivirus manufacturers are more favorable to the position, withdrew from the side of the hat and the bad guys, please tell me the trick

 

Microsoft is responsible for the software if the same bug that the bad guys can break you trust someone to protect your PC from malware a good job again? : This is a fair question, perhaps people anyway, you can not install this software, this is the very question

But, I believe that Microsoft's personal information to go through a system of user support and no time or inclination to believe, Microsoft SpyNet in, the default "basic member" of the disclaimer, MSE of included, people could not reassure them, question the intention of the company

"Microsoft has to submit the basic information about the software, the software, and you apply, Microsoft Security Essentials』 come from such actions to be applied automatically detects the Microsoft Security Essentials 』, whether the operation was successful In some instances, you may accidentally sent information to Microsoft However, Microsoft will not use this information to identify you or contact you"

Microsoft, this is for people to protect their computers with them each time after a strong start the charge, arming the competition: a foothold in the security software market, providing the product can be obtained Microsoft offers free MSE has said it plans to continue And for all the reasons mentioned above, I am virus free, and is going to steal too many paying customers away from other products to provide anti-virus products do not think Microsoft After all, it is a lot of other anti-free Avast anti-virus products available, including! In Home Edition, Avira of AntiVir, AVG Free, ClamWin, PCTools, which provides a new cloud antivirus Panda, to name a few

I suspect Microsoft is offering this software for reasons part public relations and part self-preservation: Redmond knows that anything it can do to ensure that there are fewer malware-infested PCs out there is a good thingAnd let's face it, for whatever reason -- even with the impressive number of free anti-virus offerings out there already -- a dangerous number of Windows users continue to use the operating system without any kind of anti-virus software installedAt least with its brand recognition, Microsoft has a good chance of changing that reality to some degree

One final note, if you're interested in trying out this software, you probably want to move pretty quicklyAccording to ZDNet blogger Mary Jo Foley, Microsoft intends to make this beta available only to the first 75,000 downloaders in the United States, Brazil or Israel.
