Our Review

Security Essentials is a great Anti Virus program that will make your comouter safe and secure while browsing online. It does not give false alarms and does have the ability to detect and eliminate all the latest virus and trojans.

However we did notice that having this anti virus installed our boot up time to power up increased by 3-4 seconds and it did slow down our browsing speed, by a few seconds. Not something that a normal user would notice , but i did.

Hope you enjoyed this review of Microsoft Security Essentials and feel free to download it at your own responsibility.
