AV-Test calls Microsoft Security Essentials "very good"

From ZDNet Blogs

I know that it’s hard for some people to accept it, but Microsoft is capable of getting things right. One such example of “getting it right” is Microsoft Security Essentials beta. While some security vendors have been quick to dismiss this new tool, the independent testing company AV-Test ranked the beta product as one of the best security products tested.

I like Microsoft Defender as an Anti-Spyware tool, and thus far Microsoft Security Essentials (Anti-Virus tool) is getting good reviews. Sadly AVG is succumbing to the Symantec throw-in-everything-and-the-kitchen-sink philosophy. I prefer a keep it simple solution that consumes minimal system resources and this looks to be it. I was too late to get a Beta, but I will be keeping an eye out for the release version.
