Microsoft Security Essentials

Microsoft Security Essentials is an official solution that was introduced by microsoft. The main task of the program is to provide protection for the user's computers. To check the operating system, you need to run a scan and wait for the results. In addition to the manual mode, there is also an automatic blocking of suspicious files.

Scanning

The main essence of this antivirus is the ability to run a scanning procedure. To do this, you need to select a quick, full or special scan, which will take a different amount of time. When the file scanning process is complete, the system will notify the user about the presence or absence of viruses. Depending on the type of scan selected, different file types will be selected. If you decide to run a full scan, it will check absolutely all files in the system, including system files. It is also worth noting that the user can manually specify the areas of the hard disk to scan. This greatly speeds up the process if the user knows the approximate location of the virus.

Protection

Apart from being able to perform scans, the antivirus also provides comprehensive protection. It allows you to get rid of the situation when viruses infiltrate the computer and interfere with the work of the user. So, in the protection mode, there is an option to scan all files in real time. This will remove some resources, but will help to get rid of the fear of using unpopular sites on the Internet. In addition, you can run the scanning procedure on a schedule. This reduces the load, but still allows you to find viruses as quickly as possible.
