Microsoft Security Essentials is a fake anti-spyware application that imitates the legitimate Microsoft program. Once Microsoft Security Essentials is inside a system it will launch bogus system scan reports, security alerts and pop-up warnings. Users should ignore these fake security notifications because they are simply displayed to scare users into purchasing the non-existent "licensed" version of Microsoft Security Essentials. The legitimate version of Microsoft Security Essentials can be downloaded for free by users that have a legitimate copy of Microsoft Windows. If your PC is infected with the malicious version of Microsoft Security Essentials, it is advisable to use a reliable anti-spyware program to remove it completely.
