Today Microsoft have launched their FREE anti virus software Security Essentials. This is a replacement for their paid for OneCare offering.

From the MS site:

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.


This will compete with AVG and other free anti virus apps. so it will be interesting to see how it works out!

I'll be trying it on one of my PC's in time (no rush!), if you start using it please post your experiences here...
