Microsoft Security Essentials Public Betas

Old news by now (has it been sitting since Nov 2011).

Been running the x64 beta version on my home system with no ill effects. YMMV.

Free Download Microsoft Security Essentials 4.0.1111.0 Beta - Free Antivirus for Windows - I found this location to download the installation files from rather than register via the Microsoft links previously provided. I did grab the files both from my Microsoft registration and these and checked them both (HashMyFiles: Calculate MD5/SHA1/CRC32 hash of files). All hashes at the time matched.
