Microsoft's long promised free anti-virus tool has finally arrived, and there's no longer any excuse for not protecting your PC. Microsoft Security Essentials is free, unobtrusive, and it works.
Microsoft has announced free Antivirus Software (Beta) Version for Windows 7 users. It can be downloaded by using http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials
Total file size is 4389KB which will take only 10 to 15 minutes by using 64kbps internet connection, however, It can be vary depending on your internet speed.
Once installed it will automatically update to new versions as they come out, and then regularly download updated signature files as they become available from Microsoft Update.
When you're up and running, Security Essentials will download the most recent set of signatures and scan your PC for the first time.
If you're using Windows 7, you're unlikely to realise that it's there at all, as the status icon is kept with the rest of the hidden task bar icons.
DANGER! If you inadvertently download malware, MSE will warn you that you're doing something potentially unsafe, and blocks you from completing the action.
