Last time I open the Security Essentials homepage from home in Kuala Lumpur, there is a message telling me that Security Essentials download is not available for my country. Today when I visit the site again because one of my buddy asking for free anti virus, I realize the Download Now button is working for us in Bolehland.

So go grab yourself a free copy, but with one warning; the installer will check for genuinity of your Windows, meaning it won’t install on pirated version. This is one more incentive for people to legalize their copy of Windows. Security Essentials works on Windows XP, Vista and 7 for both 32-bit and 64-bit.
