Microsoft Security Essentials provides an easy and secure
way to protect your Windows system from various virus attacks and spyware
threats. The program offers real time protection to your system by constantly
scanning both incoming and outgoing files. Whenever you transfer a file into or
out of your system, the Security Essential program scans the file for malicious
files and Trojans.
After completing the scan, if the application finds any
threats, it pops up a notification window with the information regarding the
infected file. Besides this, Microsoft Security Essentials has the ability to
wipe out the malicious files that have already infected your system.
A Microsoft Security Essentials notification window gets
displayed, when the program detects any threats. To close this window, you would
have to delete the infected file, or Quarantine the file using Microsoft Security Essentials.
Mentioned below are instructions from the Microsoft tech Support
team to delete an infected file using Microsoft Security Essentials.
