Microsoft's Free Anti-malware Tool

Microsoft has released the final version of the Microsoft Security Essentials program. The free malware protection software which until now was available only to a limited amount of beta testers is now available for download, it guards against viruses, spyware, and other malicious software.


Now, the obvious question is how good is this. According to the washingtonpost report,


"AV-Test ran MSE against 3,732 samples of malware that are currently infecting PCs around the world, and found that the program blocked all of them, both when the samples were opened or accessed and when the malware was manually scanned."
