The anti-malware services helps to protect users against viruses, spyware and other malicious software. It requires no registration, trials or renewals and is available for download directly from Microsoft.
"Consumers have told us that they want the protection of real-time security software but we know that too many are either unwilling or unable to pay for it, and so end up unprotected," said Amy Barzdukas, general manager for consumer security at Microsoft.
"With Microsoft Security Essentials, consumers can get high-quality protection that is easy to get and easy to use - and it won't get in their way."
Microsoft Security Essentials is designed to run quietly in the background alerting users only when there is an action for them to take. It limits CPU and memory usage and has less impact on tasks users perform such as opening documents or browser windows or loading search results, even on older less powerful PCs.
Microsoft Security Essentials is available for Windows XP SP2 or SP3, Windows Vista and Windows 7 including Windows XP mode on both x32 and x64 PCs.
Microsoft Security Essentials is available in eight languages and 19 countries including Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.
