Microsoft securities essentials help protect computers against viruses.

Software on a regular basis.
Clean up tools for removal of cookies and/or internet history and/or defragmentation
These tools help the performance of the overall computer system; this is because they get rid of the unnecessary data that slows down the computer. An example of this is if the history was building up it will slow down the computer as it has to deal with all this data whilst managing the stuff the user is using. Having clean up tools will help remove all of the internet history which will make the computer become a lot smoother and run more quickly. 

Drive formatting

Drive formatting improves the computer systems’ performance because when the computers’ hard drive is formatted the data on the disk is erased and the systems operating system is freshly reinstalled. Computers will run more efficiently as there will be more room on the hard drive which means that drive formatting will increase the performance of a computer system in terms of data storage. This is because there will be a greater amount of space on the hard drive.
