Microsoft Security Essentials (FKA Moro) now available, sort of.

Microsoft's free anti-malware now officially known as "Microsoft Security Essentials" is now available for limited download. There's a limited amount of download slots available and it's probably alredy been met. There's always the good old torrent search option though if you just can't wait.

Currently it's only available to folks in the United States, Israel and Brazil (Brazil?). You'll also need to have a verified Genuine version of Windows to install. If you meet all the requirements, be sure to uninstall any other Anti-Virus or Anti-Malware software you have currently.

I've been really happy with Avira Anti-Virus, Avast! and AVG in the past, but since I installed what was formerly known as Moro, I've been impressed. We'll have to wait and see how the Anti-Virus Experts out there evaluate it's actual detection capabilities.

A New Way to Enjoy Entertainment on your TV & PC

Boxee for Windows just about ready. From the site: "On a laptop or connected to an HDTV, boxee's free software lets you navigate all your personal movies, TV shows, music and photos, as well as streaming content from websites like MLB, Netflix, Pandora, Last.fm, and Flickr from one screen with a remote."

I've been playing around with Hulu Desktop for awhile and am glad to see Boxee ported to Windows. They both have good and bad points and since they both are relativly new, we'll just have to wait and see who comes out on top. I think it's all going to be a matter of personal preference when all said and done.
