Anyone who has tried using the Microsoft antivirus - Microsoft Security Essentials? and how reliable is it? http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/?mkt=en-us
It is reliable in the sense that you can get its updates regularly if you have a WSUS server for updating your microsoft clients. My experience is that there is no better anti-virus just manage what you have well. Thanks. On Wed, May 12, 2010 at 3:12 PM, Paul Mbugua <plmbugua@gmail.com> wrote:

Well you could try it and see what you can derive from this.....But on Ed's answer, if you can actually deploy this and use WSUS, does this that anti-trust treaty Microsoft were being sued over a while back? Essentially it means, depending on its effectiveness, they put Kaspersky, Avast, Mcafee who all sell their policy orchestrator to consumers, out of business?

i am using it on windows 7 and can't complain!it has better heuristics than both kaspersky and avira combined and since the detection of malware is more important than the cleaning ability,methinks it's tops. On Wed, May 12, 2010 at 3:51 PM, Anthony Njoroge <njorogan@gmail.com> wrote:
