Microsoft Security Essentials is easy to install, update, and use. It installs quickly, updates virus definitions automatically in the background, and runs lightly without slowing down the computer. The interface is basic but allows scanning individual files or the entire system. It monitors in real-time for malware and viruses, and will block infected downloads from occurring.

2. OUTLINE
This presentation will give further
information about Microsoft
Security Essentials
How to install
How to make change on it
How to run it

3. INSTALLATION
Before installation make
sure there is no other
Antivirus or spyware
application running on the
machine. However, you
don’t need to turn off
Windows Defender,
because MSE takes care
of it for you.

4. INSTALLATION
You will have to
validate your copy
of Windows to be
able to install and
use Security
Essentials.

5. UPDATING
The user interface is
basic, simple, and easy to
use. After installation it
will update the virus
definitions right away.
After that it will update
itself automatically in the
background so once
installed it truly is a “set it
and forget it” process.

6. UPDATING
After the database
is updated the
computer status
turns green. There
are 4 tabs at the
top that allow you
to control different
functions.

7. CHANGE SETTINGS
Under Settings you
can choose what
actions it should
take with malware
based on its threat
level.

8. DEFAULT SETTINGS’ FEATURES
By default Real-time
protection is enabled
but if you want to
disable it you want. The
Real-time protection is
light on system
resources and doesn’t
slow down other
processes at all.

9. GET PROTECTED
It shows a green
icon in the
notification area
letting you know
your system is
protected.

10. DISPLAY PROGRESS
Progress is displayed while
a manual scan takes place
and tells you the amount of
time it takes. Scan times
will vary between systems
based on amount of files
and hardware
performance.

11. SINGLE FILE
It works like
most other
Antivirus apps
and lets you
scan a single
file.

12. THREAT ALERT
If a threat is detected a
red attention screen pops
up in the Notification Area
and you can clean the
threat right away based
on your recommended
actions or find out more
detail about the threat.

13. THREAT ALERT
If you want more details,
they actually provide a
good amount of
information on a threat.
When in the details
screen you can change
the recommend action if
you want and clean it
from there.

14. DOWNLOAD SECURELY
During out tests we tried to
download an infected file, but
MSE stopped it and wouldn’t
allow the download to
continue unless manually
selecting to ignore it. This is
very nice so someone doesn’t
ignore the warnings, click out
of the screens, and try to
download and install the app
anyway.

15. THANK YOU
FOR
YOUR ATTENTION!
