Windows

Security Software for WIndows:

1) Microsoft Security Essential:





Microsoft Security Essentials is currently in beta.
The downloads were limited to 75 000 copies ““ but it is mirrored on many websites and does not require a license key or registration. It does however check to see if the copy of Windows is legitimate.
There’s nothing wrong with the application itself, the concept behind it screams “˜paradox’. It’s created by the same people that made Windows. Releasing a security product is essentially admitting that the operating system you market as “˜the safest’ ““ is flawed to start with. Otherwise how can you justify its creation? Like O.J. Simpson giving a signed confession.
Secondly, it’s going to kill revenues for all the other security companies like Symantec and Kaspersky from the home and small business users segment. If the European Commission was worried about Windows Media Player and Internet Explorer, how do you think it will react to this, especially if retailers or even Microsoft bundles it with new computers? I can already imagine the headlines: “Microsoft fined $100 million for making Windows secure”. Coupled with a responsible behavior and Windows Defender, Microsoft Security Essentials is the way to go, especially for people on a tighter budget.
