New Free Antivirus Program from Microsoft

Posted by Kelly Shaw in windows , technology , antivirus

From what I can tell, the Antivirus industry will be facing some major changes very soon.  Microsoft has introduced a free antivirus program called Microsoft Security Essentials.  Just click the link to visit the download web page.

In the past, I have often recommended  programs like Avast, or Eset's NOD32 over Norton Antivirus.    While I am still testing this new antivirus program on several computers, from what I can tell, it is a good program and does not noticeably impact the speed of the host computer.
