Microsoft Security Essentials released by Microsoft a few days ago has nothing special about it. It has the usual Scan options.

It has a real time protection which alerts you when viruses, spyware or other potentially unwanted software attempts to install itself or run on your computer.




However, it has good detection capabilites. When it detects a virus, it gives you the description about the virus without connecting to the internet, unlike Kaspersky Antivirus which connects to its Virus database to access the information about the virus.


It has an option for how to react with threats, Microsoft SpyNet.
Microsoft Spynet is the online community that helps you choose how to respond to potential threats. The community also helps stop the spread of new malicious software infections.






Microsoft Security Essentials just detects the threats very well, but for reliability, we have to see in the long run. Although it doesn't have any special features, it does a good job on its own.
