Since Windows 8, the operating system comes with MSE built right in, except that it's now called " Windows Defender" (not to be confused with the older Windows Defender, an anti-malware product, not antivirus - more on this confusing stuff below :) FYI: for the first time, with Windows Server 10, Microsoft is shipping Windows Defender bundled with its server operating system.

The first tab (Main Screen) has the general information of the app. The program is very simple, but of the most complete for your security. It is a very small program that will work on the background of your computer without bothering you while you are working and without consuming a lot of the resources. MSE, besides being free, it is a complete antivirus that offers us protection in real time and frequently updates. Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) has launched the versions for Windows Vista and 7.
