As the internet expands and gives us up to the second information for pretty much anything we desire, there are also more bits of undesirable information we collect from time to time which makes the experience sometimes less than desirable. Those bits are not necessarily bad news headlines or inappropriate/offensive material, but rather the viruses/spyware/malicious attacks that many of us have been made familiar with at sometime or another. As depressing as that may make the internet sound, there has almost always been a defender to circumvent these problems, such as Symantec or Mcafee, for a price...
But, in the financially crunching situation we find ourselves in, Microsoft has decided what once was considered an extra expense for many should now be a free necessity for all. So by that introduction I would like to make note of Microsoft's newest addition in their arsenal of software, Microsoft Security Essentials... which, even though is currently in Beta release, is proving to be a worthy contender.
For anyone looking to save a bit on their new computer purchase or alleviate the financial burdens of their current Anti-Virus subcription services, I do implore you to look towards the horizon at the upcoming release, coming out hand-in-hand with Microsoft's latest OS - Windows 7
Who wouldn't want a freebee in times like this?!?
