Free anti-virus / anti-malware for Windows Server 2008
Microsoft are offering a downloadable Beta of version 2 of their free security app Security Essentials. This works on Windows Server. For anyone (like me) who is using Server 2008 at home (e.g. on a file server) and needs anti-virus, I highly recommend this.
Update: [intlink id=“96” type=“post”]Version 2 final[/intlink] is now available.
0Microsoft Security Essentials final
Microsoft have updated their free security essentials package again. The softpedia link from my [intlink id=“20” type=“post”]original post[/intlink] now offers version 1.0.1611.00 to download.
-update-
This appears to be the final release and is now available direct from Microsoft
0Microsoft AntiVirus updated
Microsoft have now updated their free anti-virus to version 1.0.1500 which is available from windows update if you have the previous version installed (see [intlink id=“10” type=“post”]my previous post[/intlink]). If you want to install 1.0.1500 without installing the old version first it can be downloaded from Microsoft. If you’re in a country where its unavailable then you can download it from SoftPedia
0Free Anti-Virus from Microsoft
Microsoft have released (a few weeks ago) a free Beta of their new Anti-Virus / Security product Microsoft Security Essentials. Unfortunately as a UK resident when I visit the official Microsoft page I am told “This beta is available only to customers in the United States, Israel, China and Brazil”. A quick google search quickly turns up a download link on SoftPedia which works. There are downloads of x86 and x64 versions of Security Essentials for Windows XP, Vista and 7
