Microsoft Office 2010!

Official Word: The Microsoft Antivirus "employs practices like active memory swapping and CPU throttling to limit the impact on your PC performance, even on older or less powerful PCs. This isn't’t a security suite product that provides rich PC tuning capabilities or backs up your data. But if what you’re looking for is “install and forget” malware protection and solid quality Microsoft Security Essentials may be just what you’ve been waiting for. Plus, as a user of Microsoft Security Essentials you’ll get support from the MMPC. Microsoft Security Essentials is available now in 8 languages and 19 markets around the world for genuine Windows PCs."
What does it do?
"Microsoft Security Essentials is designed as an extra layer of security software to address cost and other barriers that have prevented many of our customers from running up-to-date security protection on their PCs. Virus definition updates occur once every 3 to 4 days (March 1 to Mar. 22, 2011- 6 times). Most anti virus package updates occur 3 to 4 times an hour to keep current with world- wide new & changes in malware, bots, viruses and intrusion attacks. In addition, Windows Defender does not cover a large enough array of outbreaks in a timely fashion. Other Microsoft security updates occur only weekly at best, for certain versions of Windows. Hundreds of new viruses or derivatives appear daily.
Because there are no subscription fees, there is no registration required to collect billing or other personal information. It also runs quietly in the background scheduling scans when the PC is most likely idle and interrupting the user only when there is an action required to keep their PC secure. It employs practices like active memory swapping and CPU throttling to limit the impact on your PC performance, even on older or less powerful PCs.
This is not a security suite product that provides rich PC tuning capabilities, privacy protection, off site storage, ID theft protection or backs up your data. But if what you’re looking for is “install and forget” malware protection, it has the basics covered. Plus, as a user of Microsoft Security Essentials you’will get support from the MMPC. It is available now in 8 languages and 19 markets around the world for genuine Windows PCs. It can be downloaded from Microsoft "as basic layer of protection." We feel it does not provide comprehensive security protection found in mature commercial products such as 2012 versions of Norton, CA, Panda, Trend Micro, etc. that spend their every waking moment working to solve your Internet Security concerns.
