    Is microsoft security essentials still good 2016 -> 2017?

    I'm figuring I'll use windows firewall so I don't have to add a bunch of 3rd party software to my comp. I hear it's actually pretty decent. If I installed MSE would I be adequately covered? I have windows 7. I mostly only game but I plan on streaming soon when I get better internet. Will I...
