![]() Microsoft touts five features of Microsoft Security Essentials: While OneCare offered a Managed Firewall, PC Performance Tuning, Data Backup and Restore, Multi-PC Management, and Printer Sharing, MSE is really closer to Forefront Client Security, Microsoft's antivirus product for the enterprise. Sales of the Windows Live OneCare subscription service as well as Windows Live OneCare for Server on SBS 2008 are scheduled to end at the end of the month. The announcement came as the company surprised everyone by saying it would be phasing out the pay-for Windows Live OneCare in favor of a free security solution. MSE was previously referred to as codename Morro when Microsoft first revealed it in November 2008. Microsoft has always recommended that its users use real-time antimalware protection, but the release by the end of this year will mark the company's first free solution. MSE will be available as standalone 32-bit and 64-bit downloads for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. Finally, Microsoft is aiming to release the final product in the fall, though it may adjust that based on feedback. This is a target number, but Microsoft is willing to increase it if necessary.Īfter the first beta, Microsoft will release a second public build, either a Beta Refresh or a Release Candidate, for the summer. A beta of MSE will be available in English and Brazilian Portuguese for public download at /security_essentials on Jfor the first 75,000 users. Microsoft notes that the threat ecosystem has expanded to include rogue security software, auto-run malware, fake or pirated software and content, as well as banking malware, and the company is aiming to help the users who are not well protected. ![]() Currently being tested by Microsoft employees and a select few testers, MSE is Microsoft's latest offering intended to help users fight the threats that plague Windows PCs. Microsoft today officially announced Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE), its free, real-time consumer antimalware solution for fighting viruses, spyware, rootkits, and trojans.

![]() ![]() In the series, Zurg is a flamboyant villain who is just as much a comic relief character and has many comedic habits, though he remains as a competent, formidable, and influential opponent similar to his role in Toy Story 2. ![]() Despite often breaking the seriousness of otherwise purely evil statements, Zurg is widely considered the evilest person in the galaxy, especially by the other villains. His most personal ally is Warp Darkmatter, who was a Space Ranger and Buzz's partner until his betrayal. His feet double as rockets and he can transform his arms into a variety of weapons. Emperor Zurg considers Buzz his archenemy and often takes any opportunity to eliminate him. In the series, which is presumably where the Buzz Lightyear character originates in-universe, Zurg is the main antagonist, and rules an empire on Planet Z, and wants to rule the entire galaxy while destroying Star Command. In the Disney Park attraction "Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin", he was voiced by Frank Welker, who was best known for voicing several incarnations of Megatron in the Transformers franchise and Doctor Claw in the 1983-1986 Inspector Gadget cartoon. He was voiced by Wayne Knight, who also played The Penguin in Harley Quinn, Al McWhiggin in Toy Story 2, Krudsky in Scooby-Doo! and The Goblin King, Dennis Nedry in Jurassic Park, and Newman in Seinfeld. He is the TV counterpart of the Evil Emperor Zurg toys in the Toy Story franchise. ![]() Zurg, better known as the Evil Emperor Zurg, is the main antagonist of the television series Buzz Lightyear of Star Command and its 2000 film Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins. Ooh, I'm so evil! I just gave myself chills! Even my goosebumps have goosebumps! (Evilly laughs) I'M A BAD BOY! (Continues evilly laughing) ~ Zurg's catchphrase in The Adventure Begins.Īnd so ends Star Command. |
