About Microsoft Security Essentials

Microsoft Security Essentials provides real-time protection for your home PC that guards against viruses, spyware, and other malicious software.

Microsoft Security Essentials is a free* download from Microsoft that is simple to install, easy to use, and always kept up to date so you can be assured your PC is protected by the latest technology. It’s easy to tell if your PC is secure — when you’re green, you’re good. It’s that simple.

Microsoft Security Essentials runs quietly and efficiently in the background so that you are free to use your Windows-based PC the way you want—without interruptions or long computer wait times.

What is Microsoft Security Essentials? What’s happening to OneCare?

Today Microsoft unveiled Microsoft Security Essentials, a no cost beta version of a new kind of hassle-free security software designed for people who don’t want to spend too much time thinking about computer security.

Sales of Microsoft’s current antivirus software, Windows Live OneCare, will stop in September 2009. If you have a OneCare subscription, rest assured that you will be supported until that subscription runs out. For more information, see Facts about OneCare.

Microsoft Security Essentials is a standalone download for the Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 operating systems.

“Customers around the world have told us that they need comprehensive, ongoing protection from new and existing threats, and we take that concern seriously,” said Amy Barzdukas, senior director of product management for the Online Services and Windows Division at Microsoft.

“This new, no-cost offering will give us the ability to protect an even greater number of consumers, especially in markets where the growth of new PC purchases is outpaced only by the growth of malware.”
