nsane.forums Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Microsoft has confirmed that it is to release free antivirus software out of beta today. The company's Security Essentials software has been available in beta form since June but will go live for everyone tomorrow. The software will update its antivirus signature daily to deal with new threats. "Microsoft Security Essentials, the highly anticipated no-cost consumer security offering, will be released to the public tomorrow, September 29", said the company in a statement. Microsoft insists that it is not looking to compete with the big security vendors like Symantec and McAfee, which have paid for security suites, but is instead looking to get more people who don't have any antivirus software running. Security Essentials was born out of Microsoft's first attempt at security software, dubbed OneCare. OneCare however failed to excite interest from customers or major OEMs and the company said that it was scrapping the suite last year.

Administrator DKT27 Posted September 29, 2009 Administrator Share Posted September 29, 2009 Yea I know that it wouldn't be available so fast(also considering the fact that it's MS product). But I don't know where I can download it from, when the link comes online. Maybe MS website will show it. ANW I am unsure that it allows to install on non geniune windows. If so I will have to crack the software by myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
