Microsoft Security Essentials goes live | Latest technology and web news | Web User

Microsoft has launched a free security program to protect against viruses, spyware and other malware.

Microsoft has announced the launch of Microsoft Security Essentials, initially known by its codename Morro, a free security package for PCs.

The package is designed to run on even low-specification PCs, with a 500MHz processor, 256MB of RAM and 140MB of spare hard disk space being the minimum requirement.

This is partly due to Microsoft’s desire for Security Essentials to be available in poorer parts of the world where technology is often several years out of date.
