http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/ The link is actually on the page but looks like a graphical link. It is the link just after Installation Video See just how easy it is And looks like: A38FFBF2-1122-48B4-AF60-E44F6DC28BD8/mssefullinstall-x86fre-en-us-xp And before: Locales and languages Somehow while searching for this I got on a page in a different language and had to find the link to change countries. But, I did get there and got the download direct from Microsoft. I like to get software, especially security programs direct from the source.

A member of this list suggested using the Microsoft Security Essentials anti-virus software, and provided the following link: microsoft.com/security_essentials/ Okay, I went there and searched around, trying a number of links, searching in vain for a download link. Microsoft seems to be imitating AVG, who also likes to hide their free anti-virus software in a rat's maze. Can someone please provide a link that leads to the actual download page? Thanks!
