Recently I posted about the free software called Microsoft Security Essentials (available to download from here) and how I have been testing it for a couple of days.

I still have it installed and have been running scans every couple of days. The Security Essentials software has been downloading updates regularly from Microsoft, which is a good thing.

A recent article published on windowsecurity.com asks Does it have a Place in the Business World? The article provides some advantages and disadvantages for business use that I recommend taking into consideration if you are ever thinking of using it.

Personally I believe it can have its place it the business world however, I don’t believe it should be used to replace your current anti-virus software but more to be used as an extra software tool for battling against an infected computer. Is it too basic for enterprise level businesses? probably.

For now I’m going to keep Microsoft Security Essentials installed alongside my other security products just to see how things go.
