Presentation Transcript

  1. Microsoft Security Essentials Free Antivirus Utility

  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 youforyour attention!
