Microsoft Tuesday released its first free anti-virus software called Microsoft Security Essentials for computers running its Windows operating system.

Quote:

The software has been available for testing since June, and its release comes about three weeks before the company's newest version of Windows, Windows 7, goes on sale Oct. 22. Security Essentials works with Windows XP (Service Packs 2 or 3), Windows Vista and Windows 7.

Quote:

So far, Security Essentials has received positive reviews. Anti-virus testing company AV-Test GmbH used the beta version of Security Essentials and told Computerworld magazine that "All (viruses) were properly detected and treated by the product. That's good, as several other (anti-virus) scanners are still not able to detect and kill all of these critters yet."

I downloaded and Installed this software, its great, simple, and able to detect Viruses (of course, its known as an anti-virus software). If its free and its by Microsoft, I grab it.
