Free Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware from Microsoft

If you are a home user or home office user you will be happy to know that Microsoft has just released it's own free Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware. The best news is that it's a very good product.

You can find it on the net here:

I have been using AVG Free from my home user clients but there are a couple of problems with that at the time of this writing:

• AVG Free is only licensed for home users NOT home office business users
• Microsoft Security Essentials is licensed for both Home AND Home Office Business users
• I found that AVG Free was not catching viruses that Microsoft Security Essentials was

If you are running a small of medium sized business I recommend using Symantec's Endpoint Protection suite of products, specifically Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition:

Its an excellent product and the price is very reasonable. Most importantly, if you have a server that connects to the Internet you should be using Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition to stop hackers from gaining access to it.
