I'm willing to bet that lawyers for the big security software vendors are looking at this development very carefully. It appeared on my system for the first time just a few minutes ago.) Ironically, I was in Redmond at the time, meeting with the Microsoft Security Essentials team and discussing this very issue.

(Lee Mathews at Download Squad spotted this update in the wild last week. It wasn't available on my system then or even earlier today, when I checked for updates manually. At some point, it can and should be fully integrated into the operating system itself.Īs the screenshot above makes clear, this update was released roughly two weeks ago, on October 19, but it's only now beginning to appear on update screens across the United States. The logical next step, of course, is for Micosoft to classify this update as Important, where it will be offered as an automatic update on unprotected PCs (similar to the way the Malicious Software Removal Tool is delivered monthly).

And Microsoft has upped the stakes by altering the license terms so that small businesses can install up to 10 copies of the software free of charge, Now it shows up under Optional Updates, if you know where to look. Previously, you had to seek out and download this free (and very effective) software on your own.

So Microsoft moves slowly, deliberately, one step at a time. In this case, I think the mere threat of an antitrust complaint from a big opponent like Symantec or McAfee has been enough to make Microsoft shy away from doing what is clearly in its customers’ best interests. The Windows 7 Action Center will warn you if you don’t have antivirus software installed, but clicking the Find a Program Online button takes you to this page, where Microsoft’s free offering is one of 23 options, most of which are paid products. Microsoft Security Essentials is available to any Windows PC as a free download, but it’s still not available as part of Windows itself. As a result, this long-overdue development is moving at glacially slow speeds.Įarlier this year, on the 10th anniversary of Microsoft's landmark antitrust defeat, I noted: Security software vendors have their antitrust lawyers on speed dial in anticipation of the day when Microsoft begins bundling antimalware protection directly into Windows. A copy of Windows that has not been properly activated after the grace period (including pirated copies of Windows that fail activation) will not be offered the MSE update.Īlthough this development might seem like a logical one for Microsoft, it's actually a big step-and a potentially risky one. Properly activated systems or those that are still within the initial grace period after installation meet this criterion and should see this update if Windows can't detect an installed antivirus program. In addition, the Microsoft Security Essentials Optional update is only available on PCs that are running what Microsoft calls Genuine Windows. If you have security software installed but have out-of-date definitions, it's up to that security software to prompt you to update.

That will certainly be true on a clean installation of Windows from retail media (OEM installations often include trial versions of security software), and it might also be true in the unlikely case you are using an antivirus program that doesn't communicate its status to Windows. First, the Action Center in Windows (Vista or 7) has to detect that no antivirus solution is currently available. Two caveats are worth noting that affect whether this Optional update is offered. Update 4-Nov 10:00 PDT: A few clarifying notes on the above description. If Windows detects that you're currently running without up-to-date antivirus protection, this is what you'll see in the Optional Updates section :

Its installed base of 30 million users worldwide might sound big in raw numbers, but it's a drop in the bucket compared to the billion-plus Windows PCs in use.Īll that's about to change, as Microsoft has now begun delivering Microsoft Security Essentials via Microsoft Update to customers in the United States (a pilot program in the UK started earlier this year). Unfortunately, even though it was officially released more than a year ago, it's still one of the best-kept secrets in personal computing. You want a good, solid, free antivirus program? Microsoft Security Essentials fills the bill nicely.

Trend Micro, however, says the company is "obviously concerned and studying this matter further." See full statements at end of this post. Symantec and McAfee declined to comment on anti trust issues. 5-Nov: Updated to include more details on conditions that trigger updates as well as statements from Symantec, McAfee, and Trend Micro.
