Having used quite a number of anti-virus programs, I recently add Microsoft Security Essentials anti-virus to my list of one of the best antivirus program in the market today. This anti-virus is light meaning you will not experience any difference on your computer speed and does the job perfectly.
I installed Microsoft Security Essentials two months ago just to see if it will pass the test and the results were tremendous.
Although I recommend this anti-virus, it might not work for everyone mostly for those people who do not have an internet connection because you will be required to update the program for the anti-virus to be active and therefore ready to use and their after you will be required to update the anti-virus at least once every day but twice is better, the program take less than a five minutes to update that is if you have a fast internet connection.
Some of the features that this anti-virus has include:
Real time protection
Real-time protection alerts you when viruses, spyware or other potentially unwanted software attempts to install itself or run on your computer.
Monitor file and program activity on your computer
Scan all downloaded files and attachments and many more features.
You can download Microsoft Security Essentials or find more information by visiting:
