| | Free Microsoft Security Essentials Holds Its Own Against Paid AV Quote: Microsoft’s free security solution for Windows manages to hold its own against paid antivirus products. At least this is the conclusion that can be drawn from the recently published AV-Test Product Review and Certification Report - 2010/Q4. AV-Test tested a range of paid and free security solutions running on Windows Vista for three months, namely October, November and December 2010, and made public the results today. “During the 4th quarter of 2010 we have tested 23 security products in the areas protection, repair and usability,” the AV test firm stated. “The "Protection" covers static and dynamic malware detection, including real-world 0-Day attack testing. In case of "Repair", we check the system disinfection and rootkit removal in detail. |

| | Good deal. I tend to like the freebies as they don't expire in X months and give me something that I have to remember to purchase again. For those who are interested in F Secure...which scored the best on the test, it's available from F-Secure right now for $39 rather than the normal $59. |
