Microsoft makes free antivirus software widely available
Posted by: Robert Westervelt
Antivirus, Microsoft Security Essentials
Software meets the needs of those looking for lightweight, free antivirus.
Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE), free antivirus software for Windows users, has been in beta for quite some time. Today, Microsoft has ripped the beta status off the software, making it widely available to the public.
Security Essentials is aimed at consumers who are content with free antivirus, but it could help businesses, especially those whose employees sometimes work on their personal computers. A no-no in many industries, but tolerated by many firms.

It's very good news. Because if Microsoft makes some Anti-virus software that it will be great.
