Microsoft Security Essentials - brilliant software from MS!

Microsoft will tomorrow be releasing "", a malware, virus and rootkit detection program which they are giving away for Free. This replaces the old Windows Defender, and Windows Live OneCare programs.

Our initial findings are excellent - a clean, non-invasive, non-resource-hogging program which does what it says on the tin. Expect it to appear in windows update soon! (if you're one of our clients, this software will be automatically rolled out with the next set of updates)
