MS Security Essentials

MS Windows Defender got a face lift and turned into a real tool when it got re-released as Security Essentials. We first pushed it out in the lab last May as you may have read in this post.

Now I have had it running for a couple of weeks on a couple of client computers - after removing Norton Internet Security (slug of an AV program), the user was mildly impressed with the speed of his seemingly new PC. Security Essentials has a very low foot print and so far it has not gotten clobbered by any viruses. I am going to test it one of my really shady clients in a couple of weeks (they call at least twice a month with viruses).
