Microsoft is offering it"s free anti-virus product, Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) to 75,000 lucky people today.
The company is offering the product via a beta program and will likely extend the cap of 75,000 downloads depending on demand. MSE is Microsoft"s free anti-virus and anti-spyware product that is set to replace Microsoft"s paid Windows Live OneCare subscription service which is being withdrawn a week today.
Earlier this month Neowin exclusively revealed MSE (codenamed Morro) and we believe that the final product will be available shortly before the Windows 7 launch in October.
MSE is being distributed on Microsoft"s Connect site as a beta program. The build available on the connect site is 1.0.1407.00 compared to the 1.0.2140.0 build of the leaked copy. For more information please visit Microsoft"s MSE site.
