This is Microsoft Security Essentials how to download install and configure
video tutorial well and thanks for joining me for this tutorial my name is
Vadim Mikhailenko from Online Training for Everyone and I'm here to help you
out to make smart business decisions and answer your questions about information
technology tools in this video we're going to look at how you can download
Microsoft Security Essentials how you can install it and configure the
software and also we're going to look at how you can optimize the execution of
this antivirus tool the best way to get location of the installation files is to
go to google and type the name of the product as you probably always do
Microsoft Security Essentials and
there's a link that comes up for download of Microsoft Security
Essentials and you just pick download the software you have to know which
version you have and most likely you need x86 version this is for Intel based
machines that run on the Intel processor and once you picked it
and we'll just be cron option for this download what Microsoft does they do a
security scan they check to make sure that this is the non infected file and
once the scanning is continues you see the user account control message which
allows confirmation from the user so this is the wizard for Microsoft
Security Essentials installation you just select our choices if you want to
join the program it's fine I already had the firewall turned on so that's not an
issue and it goes through the installation one thing I was going to
mention is if you are interested in getting the free course from how to
analyze data that net please make sure to go to the website and send me a
question about the tool that you'd like to cover in the step-by-step tutorial
and if your question is selected I'll contact you and get you the coupon for
the free course of your choice so I'm going to pause this video and get back
to this when the installation is complete so the installation of
Microsoft Security Essentials is complete and it prompts me to do the
restart of the computer now so I'm going to click restart and wait when it comes
back again I'm going to pause this video so you don't have to wait until the
restart finishes so the computer just finished rebooting and I am going to go
and launch Microsoft Security Essentials it's on the taskbar in the status bar
available as an icon I'm just going to click open and walk you through the GUI
graphical user interface so the green check box indicates that
PC is up to date with the protection we have real-time protection on and this is
the viruses part where spyware definition is up-to-date and what
happens if you wait for a couple days and your computer stays off a couple
days this becomes orange and then could become red if it stayed for too long so
it's important to watch for this indication even though the product is
designed such a way that it automatically goes and checks Microsoft
site for the recent software update and virus definition update from this screen
you can also click and execute scans so you can do a quick scan full scan or
custom scan and you just select the option that you'd like to do and click
the scan Now button also from here you can change the scan schedule by default
it comes with the Sunday 2:00 a.m. check and the limit CPU usage to 50% so what
I'd recommend you do you pick a day and sometimes I pick the day when I just
keep my computer on and go and leave the workstation so if it's your home work
station might be good to do it start maybe Monday at 9:00 a.m. right so this
is certainly left from home and you are in office and the scanning will start
and if it's your office workstation maybe it's the opposite is true so when
you live there office or maybe bright before the weekend maybe Friday night so
Friday 8:00 8:00 p.m. would be the good time to start it and obviously you need
to click Save Settings and Security Essentials asks for confirmation and it
commits the changes and this is the series of your new settings on other
tabs you can also look at what type of definitions you use
for example this was created in April 30th 2014 and the history shows if any
of the malware was found and if there is anything that needs you attention if any
items are found you'll be offered different actions based on the severity
of the issue if you liked this video please make sure to subscribe to my
