Microsoft released the final version of its new antimalware scanner, Microsoft Security Essentials, which is free and currently available to Windows users as of Tuesday.
Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE), offers Windows users a comprehensive antimalware scanner for users running Windows XP SP2, Vista or the upcoming Windows 7, which is scheduled for release at the end of October. Altogether, the antivirus product is designed to combat an array of malware, such as viruses, Trojan horses, Internet worms, botnets and spyware.
Microsoft released a beta version of MSE in June, available to the first 75,000 users in the U.S. and Brazil. However, the number of downloads far exceeded the 75,000 limit after less than a day, forcing Microsoft to discontinue beta version downloads of Security Essentials.
You can turn off real time protection under settings but I am not sure how it will affect the rest of the program. That advice will have to come from someone smarter than me.
