Microsoft has confirmed that its Security Essentials antivirus software will be publicly available from 29 September 09. Microsoft Security Essentials is a anti-malware service that helps protect consumers against viruses, spyware and other malicious software and will be available free to everyone. The product is available for Windows XP, Vista and 7.

As described by Microsoft, Microsoft Security Essentials is designed to run quietly in the background alerting users only when there is an action for them to take. It also limits CPU and memory usage, resulting in less impact on the tasks consumers perform every day such as opening documents or browser windows or loading search results, even on older or less powerful PCs. Microsoft Security Essentials uses real-time protection to help prevent PCs from becoming infected, and it is the first Microsoft security product to make use of the company’s new Dynamic Signature Service, a technology that helps ensure users stay protected by the most current virus definitions available without having to wait for the next scheduled download.

You can download it from Download Microsoft Security Essentials.

Well, only time will tell where Microsoft Security Essentials stands in ever competing market of security applications.
