Microsoft has finalized and released the second version of its free anti-virus tool, Security Essentials.
The final release, build 2.0.657, has been released to the web and introduces several new features. Context menu scanning, heuristic scanning, remove quarantined files after a certain date and the ability to enable a network inspection system to protect against network-based exploits are all included.
Microsoft introduced Security Essentials, its free anti-virus software, in September 2009. Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) is designed to work on Windows XP, Vista and 7 and protects end users against virus threats and spy ware. MSE is Microsoft’s free anti-virus and anti-spyware product that replaced Microsoft’s paid Windows Live OneCare subscription service which was withdrawn last year. The software giant made a u-turn in licensing recently when it announced Small Businesses can now download and install the product on up to 10 PCs. Previously, businesses were unable to install the software legally due to a End User Licensing Agreement (EULA) restriction.
