Microsoft Security Essentials beta

Microsoft has introduced in the early weeks of its free beta version of Security Essentials anti-malware software. The new version of the anti-virus software brings greater level of protection against network-based attacks. What's interesting is that the protection network has two parts and the Microsoft Security Essentials is now integrated with Internet Explorer in order to provide better protection against Web-based threats. In this way, the program prevents harmful scripts to run. The current version is capable of detecting such scripts when they are written into the Internet Explorer cache.
