Aside from its core functionality as an antivirus, it has a much down-to-earth interface than most popular antiviruses.
Yet, it is a fairly important aspect that sometimes can alter ones decision on choosing an antivirus.
Just imagine if an antivirus only offer a full scan functionality.
Such an antivirus isnt ideal to shield the system on daily basis.
Fortunately, Microsoft Security Essentials have several scanning options.
The custom scan can be done directly from the main interface or from the context menu in Windows Explorer.
Waiting for a full scan to finish can sometimes put your patience to the limit.
To speed it up, the archives can be excluded from the scans.
The more archives you keep in the drive, the faster the scan to finish if you exclude them.
