Microsoft Security Essentials weekly statistic shows that computers with XP system are more likely assaulted from the internet than those with Vista, and Vista computers are less safe than Windows 7 computers.Microsoft indicates that during the first week after MSE was released, it had been downloaded for more than 1,500,000 times. The software had detected more than 4,000,000 Windows security risks on 535,752 PCs.
The result is that XP computers betray obviously more Windows security problems than Vista or Windows 7 computers. There is a chart:
Microsoft says generally new system and service pack are safer than old ones.The company also says that Americans has the most infected computers and secondly and thirdly are Chinese and Brazilians.
In detail, however, the risks differ in different countries. For example, American PC users’ biggest Windows security threats come from trojan virus, while Chinese are suffering potentially unwanted rogue software and Brazilians are easily attacked by Conficker and Taterf worms.
Additionally, MSE is the upgraded version of Windows Live OneCare. It can well defend virus attack. On the other hand however, it is basis antivirus software so other security software is needed to complement Windows security defense. There are many free spyware removal, trojan virus removal and other security utilities as options and choosing a right one will yield twice the result with half the effort.
