Free Security Software from MICROSOFT! “Microsoft Security Essentials”

Microsoft just rolled out their new Security Software as free download available in nineteen countries, as per Microsoft Middle East spokesperson the localized version for Middle East will be only available at later part of 2009.

The latest offering from Microsoft “Microsoft Security Essentials” protects the consumers from viruses, malwares and spywares. The “Microsoft Security Essentials” is released freely without any registration or renewal demands.

Cisco brings security to life with animated characters -Watch Second Eposide

Dear friends in my post on March 9^th I was talking about the ‘The Realm.”, now the second episode is available you can watch this and just relax watching the latest security threats in the animated format.

Cisco brings security to life with animated characters

Cisco has appointed a select group of Cisco Engineers to develop a state-of-the-art security force. ‘The Realm.” growing beyond the systems in which they were created into a group of powerful defenders. Forming a unified league of security, the defenders battle Botnets, Malware, Spam and Intruders in the Realm, assuring the safety and security of every citizen on the human network.

‘The Realm.”is an online comic that animates the pane flow and adds voice narration. Creatively it’s an engaging experience, not as complete as a full scale animation but more alive that just a flat 2D image.
