Filed under: Security, Windows, Microsoft, Freeware, Beta, Windows x64 Regular Download Squad readers already know that I've been testing Microsoft's new Security Essentials since it first appeared in the wild last week and that I've been quite impressed with it so far. Some commenters weren't impressed, however, waving the NOD32 flag even though SE removed threats from my machine that NOD had missed.AV-Test Labs has now put SE through a slightly more grueling test than ...

Filed under: Security, Windows, Microsoft, Freeware, Beta, Windows x64 It leaked last week, but it didn't take long for Microsoft to follow up with a legitimate download for interested testers: the download page for Microsoft Security Essentials (formerly Moro) is now live. You'll need to sign in with your Connect account or register for a new one to gain access to the download - for now. There will no doubt be hundreds of happy seeders ...

If you're eager to try it out, MSE beta is available for download now. The catch: Microsoft is capping MSE downloads at 75,000, so get it while it's hot. According to ZDNet, the download was supposed to be available at 9PST, but it's 8:20 now and I was ...

Microsoft takes years to plug it's own holes in it's software that would prevent the virus from spreading. Sounds to me like this is the automaker sleeping with the mechanic.Just get Avast. It's free and works.

Microsoft's Morro antivirus service—no, not Live OneCare, their other soon-to-be-terminated antivirus deal—is hitting beta "soon," before it launches at the end of the year for free. You and I are laughing. Symantec and McAfee, not so much.

Many people use the "I don't search for warez or porn" defense when it comes to avoiding malicious software and links online. It turns out that the most dangerous search terms are often much more benign. McAfee, of the anti-virus fame, had their researchers comb through thousands of popular keyword searches.
